This ride is in support of the Wonder Wheels program (formerly Bikes for Tykes) of Family Services of the North Shore in proud partnership with founder James Wilson, owner of Obsession Bikes. The Wonder Wheels program helps families who are unable to afford a bike for their children, receive one at Christmas. This year, funds raised will go towards supporting the overall program including parts and labour costs necessary to refurbish pre-loved bikes, as well as bike helmets.

This ride will depart from Grand Boulevard and 15th Street and head to Lynn Valley centre before looping west to Jones and down the Shipyards.
Note: that this event is a community bike ride and not sponsored or connected with either the City of North Vancouver or the District of North Vancouver.
Every participant is responsible for their own safety, riding ability, and ensuring their bike is in working order with standard front and rear lights (in addititon to your holiday lights!).
Before we set off we will have a briefing about ride safety and provide an overview of the route. The route seeks to stay within all protected infrastructure, however, in some places we have to cross intersections and ride on the road beside moving vehicles.
We will not be leaving anyone behind and stay together to ensure the safety of all.
City of North Vancouver - Rhonda/Easton/Jacob
- Meeting with Staff
- Curb policy implementation
- Paid parking in lower and central Lonsdale.
- Designated delivery curb space. Will this prevent stopped vehicles in the bike lane?
- Upper Levels Greenway
- Casano Loutet Bridge
- Chesterfield and Midtown routes
District of North Vancouver - Duncan/Stephen/Stewart
- Regular meeting with DNV staff
If Queens Road get's funding confirmed in April, **construction go ahead in summer 2026.**
- Harry Jerome will be open expect summer 2026 - which will ease load on Delbrooke
A bike route geographically needs to go along queens in front of Delbrooke. There is no alternate route. A bike route does not need to go along Queens in front of District Hall. Funding approval expected in March or April
A solution to not be on West Queens is to build a big bridge - possibly bigger than McCartney Creek on Spirit Trail. Would need to build a crossing over Mosquito Creek. Requires no building = fiscally responsible!
No option through William Griffith
Translink Rapid Implementation = 100% funded! Maximizes fiscal funding = maximized fiscal responsibility!
District of West Vancouver - Peter/Mike C
- Meeting on 8 October with DWV Transportation staff (consultant Donna Howes and Sean O'Sullivan)

- Proposed bike lanes at Horseshoe Bay:
- No bike lanes on Royal Ave, but there is a possibility on Bay Street with the plan to replace Troll's restaurant.
- Proposed bike route from Hwy 1 Exit 0 to Horseshoe Bay Village: https://wiki.bikehub.ca/images/7/70/2025-09-27_proposed_modification_at_Exit_0_in_Horseshoe_Bay.png
- I stated my preference for a one-way southbound bike lane up to Exit 0 and the Spirit Trail on the shoulder of the BC Ferry exit lanes.
- Proposed bike repair pods
- Eloise Gibbens, a student at Ecole Sentinel Secondary, has proposed to install bike-repair pods in key locations across West Vancouver to promote alternative transportation and a healthy community.
