A quick but important safety note about Vancouver bike paths:

I had almost 3 head-on situations yesterday with cyclists and people moving unpredictably on shared paths.

It was scary.

I came home and didn’t even want to ride for the rest of the day 😩

🚲 PLEASE BE AWARE ON SHARED PATHS

These paths are beautiful — but they are NOT risk-free, especially in busy areas like False Creek and toward Granville Island.

🚶‍♀️ Pedestrians & joggers:

Please don’t suddenly move into the bike lane to pass walkers.

There may be a cyclist coming at speed, and we cannot always stop or move over safely in time.

🚴‍♂️ Cyclists:

Please slow down in crowded areas
AND at the very least say:

🔔 “On your left” or ring your bell before passing

Silence + speed + crowds = unnecessary risk.

⚠️ This is becoming a safety issue

With more people, tourists, e-bikes ⚡, and busy weekend traffic, these shared spaces are getting more unpredictable.

We need more:

• 🪧 clear signage
• 🎓 public education
• 🚦 awareness campaigns
• 👥 safety presence in high-traffic zones

Before someone gets seriously injured.

📢 City of Vancouver - Local Government

This is a call for education before accidents happen.

Also tagging: Vancouver Coastal Health 🏥

Shared spaces should be safe for everyone — walkers, runners, cyclists, families, and visitors.
