About HUB Cycling

HUB Cycling is a charitable non-profit organization that has spent over 25 years removing barriers to cycling while cultivating active transportation's health, environmental, and economic benefits. We envision a future where cycling is seen by everyone as an essential mode of transportation in British Columbia and is always a safe, comfortable and convenient choice.

Our Mission

HUB Cycling’s mission is to get more people cycling, more often.

We make cycling better through education, action and events. More cycling means healthier, happier, more connected communities. We’re leading the way in making cycling an attractive choice for everyone.

HUB Cycling has close to 3,000 members and more than 65,000 direct supporters. HUB Cycling has ten volunteer committees across Metro Vancouver that encourage cycling for all ages and abilities (AAA) in Metro Vancouver.

HUB Cycling was established in 1998 (originally named the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition) to improve cycling conditions in Metro Vancouver.

Where We Stand

Our positions express priorities relating to active transportation policy, cycling education and promotion, and the planning, design, and implementation of cycling infrastructure. Based on this, we initiate public engagement to support better biking across British Columbia.

Meeting 2040 transportation goals includes a region-wide approach to implementing important cycling infrastructure improvements and new facilities across Metro Vancouver, including all ages and abilities (AAA) bike routes between and within municipalities, to and from schools and commercial zones, and across major bridges and water crossings.

Everyone Rides

Every child should finish elementary school having received cycling education (much like they do in many European jurisdictions) - this creates a systemic culture of cycling that permeates student, parent and teacher lifestyles and transportation choices.

Multi-Use Pathways

Multi-use paths should be built with caution, and measures should be taken to limit possible conflicts when built. Multi-use pathways should not be used to replace sidewalks.

Micromobility Devices

HUB Cycling supports that micromobility devices be allowed in cycle lanes and need not obtain a license or insurance to ride on the road as long as they have operating characteristics that are similar to conventional cycle characteristics, including average rider speed, device size, device weight, etc. to ensure they can be safely integrated into infrastructure designed for conventional cycles.

Modernize the BC Motor Vehicle Act

We seek to make our roads safer for vulnerable road users, including people walking, cycling and rolling. We advocate for safer infrastructure as well as evidence-based reforms to the Motor Vehicle Act. We support reforms that prioritize safety and equity, and encourage automated enforcement of road infractions.
