== About HUB on the North Shore ==


[[Other letters and presentations]]
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 well-known for, or people riding for recreation along one of our many multi-use trails. But there is another type of rider on the North Shore: The '''City Biker'''.


[[Current Public Consultations]]
=== Advocacy ===


[[Previous Public Consultations]] - now closed
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:


==== Dedicated bicycle routes, paths and lanes ====


<!--
Multi-use paths like the Spirit Trail are valued infrastructure for recreational use and short distance trips. In many cases they are not a good match for City Bikers. Traveling speeds are 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.
[[Media releases]]
-->


== In the News ==
==== Proper design of routes and access to them ====


Read about HUB North Shore on our [[In the News]] page.
Some of the existing designated bike routes 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.


==== End point facilities ====


== '''Who to contact for street maintenance''' ==
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 sight of public eyes, have available lockers and also shower and changing facilities for employees.


=== Education and Outreach ===


=== City of North Vancouver ===
Increasing the community's awareness of cycling for transportation is a major aspect of the NS-VACC's purpose. This includes press releases, Bike to Work Week stations on the North Shore, a VACC booth at events on the North Shore, and free bike valet parking at events.
