We're gearing up for a busy season at the Bike Valet 🚲

If you have never used a Bike Valet before, think of it like a safe and secure coat check for you bike:

Ride your bike, e-bike, or scooter to the event.
Check-in your ride.
Get a claim ticket from one of our friendly Bike Valet Attendants.
Enjoy the event!
Bring back your claim ticket to pick up your ride.

And the best part is it's completely free to use. You can also leave your helmet, lock, and panniers attached to your ride. 

Choosing to bike or roll to events adds up in a big way! Last season, we parked 11,429 bikes across Metro Vancouver and helped keep 16,000 kilograms of CO2 out of the atmosphere.

Instead of sitting in traffic or searching for parking, you can roll right up to the action and start having a great time.

We look forward to seeing you at the Bike Valet this summer! Follow .ca for updates on seasonal locations and where to find us (FIFA World Cup events, we're looking at you 👀)

Bike Month team ride day 🚲 

When one of your teammates happens to be a part-time tour guide with it's the perfect reason to do a team ride day exploring the city! 

We learned the stories behind key public art pieces, stopped by the car-free zone by English Bay, enjoyed some ocean views, forest paths, and lots of conversations about the stories that are told on these lands and the importance of reflecting on being on unceded territories. 

No whale sightings this time, but the birds were out in force: blue heron chicks calling from their nests, goslings along the seawall, forest ducklings making their way upstream, and one extremely determined woodpecker putting in some serious work. 

Days like this are also a reminder that access to safe and comfortable bike infrastructure is not something everyone experiences equally. We’re grateful for the opportunity to enjoy and advocate for active transportation that helps more people feel connected to their communities. 

Happy Bike Month from the BEST team 💚

Transportation is a lifeline. When it falls short, people feel it in their daily lives.

We are proud to support the launch of the Public Transit Alliance of BC, a new province wide coalition working toward a future where everyone can get to where they need to go safely, reliably, and affordably.

At BEST, we want to see a transit system that works better for everyone, including seniors, newcomers, and others who rely on it most. As people age out of driving, or settle into a new community, reliable and comfortable transit is essential for staying connected to work, care, and community. 

Join the online launch:
Tuesday, April 28 at 6pm

Hear from speakers, learn more about the Transit Alliance, and be part of what comes next.

Meet Eduardo, a newcomer from 🇻🇪Venezuela who participated at an Eco-Voyage workshop at ISSofBC! 😍

Eduardo is an enthusiastic e-scooter user and we are happy he enjoyed the workshop, even suggesting it should happen twice a month!! The workshop in Spanish was dynamic and very fun, with participants asking lots of interesting questions and sharing anecdotes on what it has been like to navigate Vancouver as newcomers.🛴🛴🛴

Are you curious to learn more? Attend one of our Eco-Voyage workshops in November at VPL branches! 🔥

Hola BESTies! Una de las formas más sostenibles de navegar Vancouver es usando patientas eléctricas. 🛴 ¿Te animas a probar Lime?

Hemos escuchado varias preguntas sobre cómo usar patinetas eléctricas en nuestros talleres de Eco-Voyage, y aquí les compartimos datos para tener el cuenta:
✅ En Vancouver, debes tener al menos 16 años para andar en patineta eléctrica, pero para usar Lime, debes tener al menos 18 años
✅ Recuerda andar en los carriles de bicicleta o en la calle junto con otros vehículos, mas no en la acera
✅ Trata de andar en línea recta, ser visible a otros vehículos, y seguir las reglas y señales de tránsito
✅ Recuerda usar las señales para voltear, usando las palancas de la patineta o tus brazos para indicar que vas a voltear o pausar tu trayecto.
