Since the start of 2026, it’s been very exciting for us at HUB Cycling. Every day, we are working to remove barriers to cycling, and there have been a few big events and achievements.

We’re Convincing Decision-Makers that Metro Vancouver Needs a Regional Bike Share System

At the beginning of February, we hosted the premiere of the film The Bike Share Dilemma by acclaimed filmmaker Uytae Lee of About Here Videos at MONOVA, exploring how a truly integrated regional bike share system in Metro Vancouver could make travel more affordable, accessible, and better connected to transit across the region. You can watch the film here.

At the premiere, we hosted a panel with Mayor Linda Buchanan, TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn, Mobi by Rogers CEO Mia Kohout, and Head of Evolve E-Bike and E-Scooter Share, BCAA Leanne Buhler exploring the possibility of a regional bike share system.

Following this event, the City of Vancouver passed a motion on March 11th called: Cheap, Easy and Everywhere: Unlocking the full potential of shared mobility to reduce traffic congestion across Metro Vancouver. This motion aims to explore implementing a coordinated regional bike share system.


Our Education Programs are Growing

Our education team launched a High School Pilot, delivering cycling education programming to high school students.

The season for school programming for our bike education team has officially begun. We are planning to deliver courses at 95 schools, at no cost to families and educators. Approximately 9,500 kids in the Lower Mainland are booked in for cycling education programs this spring, helping to introduce them to basic road rules and safe cycling. Additionally, we have delivery partners across the province supporting our six delivery partners in communities beyond Metro Vancouver.

Rain or shine, our Bike Bus programs have continued to run throughout the winter. Bike buses have been collecting eager students along their rides to five schools in Vancouver, one in Surrey, and another one is about to start in Langley. We have also supported two bike buses in Victoria that are being run by Capital Bike.

We Hosted the HUB Bike Awards

The 13th Annual HUB Bike Awards took place on March 3, 2026, in Vancouver to honour individuals and organizations advancing active transportation across British Columbia.

Key recognitions included the City of North Vancouver receiving the Biggest Leap Award and New Westminster Mayor Patrick Johnston earning the Arno Schortinghuis Cycling Champion of the Year Award.

Infrastructure honours were also granted to significant projects like the Granville Bridge Connector, the Kitsilano Beach extension of the Seaside Greenway, and the new multi-use pathway on Kingsway in the City of Port Coquitlam.

The event successfully raised over $2,000 to support ongoing cycling advocacy and infrastructure throughout the province. Over 20 individuals and organizations were celebrated during the ceremony. You can see the full list of winners here.
