Why Bike-Friendly Businesses Matter
Cycling is one of the most affordable, healthy, and environmentally friendly ways to get around. Bike-friendly businesses:
- Encourage more people to travel by bike.
- Help reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Strengthen local economies by attracting loyal, repeat customers.
- Support healthier communities across BC.
By choosing businesses that support cyclists, you’re not just meeting your own needs—you’re helping create a stronger culture of active transportation across the province.
What Makes a Business “Bike-Friendly”?
A bike-friendly business goes the extra mile to welcome customers arriving by bicycle. Amenities may include:
- Secure bike racks or parking.
- Access to water refills.
- Bike repair stations or tools.
- Discounts or specials for cyclists.
- E-bike charging.
- Safe and welcoming spaces for riders.
Each listing in the directory notes the amenities available, so you can quickly find the services you need.
