I have lived in Vancouver since July 12, 1998 but I never biked from Gastown to Granville Island to East Van !
Impressions:
- Columbia Street is a mess. The Carrall Street Greenway will fix this methinks
- As I said to a Vancouver Sun reporter, I want it to be like the bike paths in southern Germany where I lived for 3.5 years. No motorized vehicles because there will always be accidents when the two share the same space.
- Canada Line construction is omnipresent and disrupting every mode of transit!
- Biking is the best way to learn about a city next to walking.
I took 80 photos of my journey today (yes I am crazy enough to take cameraphone pictures everywhere :-) !)
Here are my favourites (guess where they are :-) ! )
