=== How to participate ===


Participating in HUB on the North Shore is as simple as joining us at our monthly [[Meetings]], volunteering at Bike to Work Week stations, or joining us at various community events. Most importantly, get on your bike and ride!
'''[http://www.biketoworkmetrovan.ca/ VACC Bike to Work Week]''' was November 1-7, 2010. Participation increased from last year's November Bike to Work Week, and we had four commuter stations on the North Shore. Check [http://www.biketoworkmetrovan.ca/commuter-stations-date here] for the location of more Winter Bike Celebration Stations in December and January.


You can also participate by joining our free email list: https://hubcycling.groups.io/g/NorthShore

=== [[Meetings|Meeting agendas and minutes]] ===
When many people think about riding on the North Shore they envision an armoured mountain biker riding the challenging trails that the North Shore is known for, or people riding for recreation along one of our many multi-use trails. In the past much of our cycling policy has been directed specifically toward those kinds of riders. But there is another type of rider on the North Shore: The '''City Biker'''.


HUB North Shore meets at 6:30pm on the first Thursday of every month.
=== Advocacy ===


We meet at the North Vancouver City Library on the 2nd floor meeting room. -->
City Bikers are those riders using a bicycle for '''purposeful trips'''. They have a destination objective in mind and want to take the quickest route to get there. This includes people commuting to work or school, going to an appointment, visiting friends, shopping, etc. The municipal governments of the North Shore have all been working on plans for increasing the number of trips made by bicycle. Fundamental to realizing those plans is the development of safe and convenient infrastructure for cyclists. The NS-VACC is committed to helping make this a reality by advocating for:
Our meetings are open to all, so please join us at the next one. You can join our Online Video Call or call in on your phone. For the next meeting date, call details and agenda, as well as for information on past meetings, please refer to the [[Meetings]] page.
<br>


<!--=== Assessment rides ===
==== Dedicated bicycle routes, paths and lanes ====
Periodically HUB North Shore holds assessment rides to help familiarize members with issues of concern and propose solutions. For more information on past rides please refer to the [[Group Rides]] page.
-->


If you have any questions or comments that are not answered on this site please send email to [mailto:northshore@bikehub.ca northshore@bikehub.ca].
Multi-use paths like the Spirit Trail are valued infrastructure for recreational use and short distance trips. In most cases they are not a good match for City Bikers. Travelling speeds are very slow and the potential for conflict is high because the paths are shared with walkers, children, runners and dogs. Multi-use paths usually do not connect well with shopping areas and other important destinations. Safety is an issue where multi-use paths run through forests and parks. Multi-use paths should be provided in addition to on-street facilities, but they should not replace them. Establishing safe and dedicated bike routes for everybody is imperative to the overall safety and livability of our community.


== HUB North Shore Letters & Documents ==
==== Proper design of routes and access to them ====
The North Shore Committee's communication with local governments, the province and other organizations is archived here.


[[Letters to governments]]
Sometimes it seems like the designated bike routes were created by someone who is not a rider just drawing a line on a map. They have not taken into account difficulties like hills by contouring the route, safety issues like crossing traffic, parked cars and driveways, proper signal triggering access, curb drops for trail access and connector routes. Advocating for well designed routes and access is key to increasing the use of cycling as an alternative means of transportation on the North Shore.


[[Presentations to governments]]
==== End point facilities ====


[[Other letters and presentations]]
Once a City Biker arrives at a destination it is not a matter of pulling out a key and locking things in the trunk. Bicycle theft is one of the most common crimes in the Lower Mainland. Cyclists are often required to lock their vehicle to trees and poles and hope that it has not been stolen or vandalized by the time they return. Additionally they need to carry helmets and bags with them wherever they go and usually have no facilities in which to clean up or change into dry clothing. We need policies in place for ensuring that all business-related destinations provide proper bike racks in plain site of public eyes, have available lockers and also shower and changing facilities for employees.

==== Education ====


Increasing the community's awareness of cycling is a major aspect of the NS-VACC's purpose. This includes media, a VACC booth at events on the North Shore, and free bike valet parking at events.


<!--
For cyclists who would like to be more comfortable and safer riding in traffic, the [http://www.vacc.bc.ca/cycling/cycling.php?pageID=41 VACC Streetwise Cycling] course is offered on the North Shore every summer.

=== The Method ===
== In the News ==


Read about HUB North Shore on our [[In the News]] page.
Achieving the goal of increased ridership requires a logical approach based on Design, Education and Enforcement. Enforcement is a cost that will never go away, but to keep it manageable first requires proper Design and Education. By focusing our main effort on these latter components the NS-VACC hopes to help our communities achieve their cycling goals resulting in a healthier, fitter and happier place to live. By working together we can make this happen.


=== How to participate ===


== '''Who to contact for street maintenance''' ==
Participating in the NS-VACC is as simple as joining us at our monthly [[Meetings]], participating in [[Group Rides]], contributing to our [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vacc-nshore/ Email List] or joining us at various events.
