In Victoria for a conversation about Dutch street design at Habit Coffee who are also hosting my ‘Lessons from the Dutch’ exhibit, I also took a wander around with the camera during evening and morning commutes…

If you find yourself in Victoria, BC before June 30, 2024, head over to Habit Coffee on Pandora Avenue to check out my first Fietspad photo exhibition. Cost of entry… buy some of their great coffee and locally sourced snacks to support this shop doing a great service to the community in hosting such events by local artists… and engineers...

Dutch designs, even Dutch levels of ridership during the BC Land Summit bike tour… Catching up on Metral Drive after a year or two, as we take a bike ride through Nanaimo on the new Evo bike share bikes, taking in some multi-use pathways, protected bike lanes, protected intersections and continuous sidewalks and bike paths.

With a few hours to kill around Downtown Vancouver, I took a spin around on the bike, where I thought I’d try and find some classic waterfront views. Not my typical post, but sometimes it’s nice just to enjoy the view… There’s still some good traffic free bike infrastructure though…

If cargo bike moms and dads are the indicator species of bicycle network safety and connectivity… then Victoria is pretty safe and connected... On this whistle stop tour of some of the city’s bike infrastructure, they were everywhere.

Well, sort of… this blog post is less about super wide bike lanes, and more super wide photographs of them. But like usual, there are lots of bike lanes, and some other interesting things along the way…

The Esplanade Complete Street project provided a considerable upgrade to the active transportation infrastructure and streetscape along this busy commercial arterial street, making it safer and more comfortable for everybody travelling along it.
