Recently, Vancouver residents saw a demonstration of a bike share program from Montreal called Bixi. Bike stations located all across Montreal provide the public with affordable rental bikes for short trips usually between 5 and 30 minutes in length. Bike share programs help calm traffic and boost physical activity. Vancouver city officials are planning to create a similar program here in the Lower Mainland. Problems with other systems that must be solved include theft, damage, and cycling safety in the city. Cycling is a great way to stay fit, keep active, and improve health. Let's hope Port Coquitlam jumps on the bandwagon, too! We already have bike lanes!
