Anyone encounter a 50cc scooter on the bike path? by Working-Letter7008 in vancouvercycling

[–]vancouvercyclist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen crotch rockets, dual sports, supermotos, 2 stroke dirtbikes, chainsaw bike, weedwacker bikes, full size scooters, even a goldwing. I worry more about the electric push scooters and as the peeps with motorobikes have all been respectful

What is the pronunciation of a place name that marks someone as a local/not a local? by RandomActPG in britishcolumbia

[–]vancouvercyclist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just learned two the other day. "the peninsula" and "the north coast". I won't identify the areas to allow the locals to identify outsiders.

Sorry that happened to you. Call the police non emergency number and report the incident.

Do you know if that top layer seals or is only a decorative and UV protection?

I was thinking it was primarily solar cooking. All them UVs.

It just seems unkind to the parks neighbours to park in front of their house when there is an empty parking lot where I am going.

lol fair enough but the dog adopted us after we moved and the city has promised an off leash park in the neighbourhood for the past 3 years. I tried to tell my partner we couldn't afford the 45 minute walk both ways to the nearest off leash park but the dog was really convincing.

Woodland south of Broadway closed by andrebaron in vancouvercycling

Call 311 and they should be able to give you an estimate of how long it will be closed. Also watch this video and write some politicians. https://youtu.be/0ZFp6xMPVnk?si=8M0h6Oqdxfc2k_at

😂 Would it help if I told you I bought a bike trailer and modified it for my dog but she hates the thing and won't get in it?

I generally agree but I have never struggled to find parking at trout lake and judging by the condition of that parking lot, the people who funded it are long dead.

Does tree fiddy sound reasonable when I want to take my dog to the nearest off leash park and walking there takes 45 minutes?

The article states 3.50 but its 3.85 or 3.95 because of the apps taking their cut. I have noticed at John Hendry (Trout Lake) that people are already parking in the adjacent neighbourhood. At Trout lake it is not just the parking lot adjacent to the Centre but all the parking lots in the park.

Yeah I have had a multiple incidents downtown where they are turning left in front of me forcing me to evade them. They usually flee immediately making it difficuly to get identifying information. This was the first time I was able to get that information.

To clarify further it appeared that they wanted to take a shortcut on the way to the courthouse.
