  • I Learned to Ride a Bike As a Kid on the North Shore in the Late 1970S. I Started in My Backyard and Gradually Moved out Onto the Sidewalk
    AURELEA MAHOOD/ Riding the Shore I learned to ride a bike as a kid on the North Shore in the late 1970s. I started in my backyard and gradually moved out onto the sidewalk. Next it was up and down the alley, around the Boulevard, and across the playing fields at school. Then down into the ravine with its tangle of trails and dirt jumps. Little did I know that as I was learning bike basics, the North Shore was already on its way to becoming a by-word for steep technical stunt-heavy riding in the wet deep green rocky rooty slopes of the North Shore mountains. The bikes that now make their way up Cypress, Fromme, and Seymour in all seasons and all weather have a story that begins in California back when I was learning to ride my first two-wheeler. The impulse to yoke together the pleasures of riding with those of the trail had been coalescing up north too. In the mid-1980s, there were the guys a few grades ahead of me who turned up at school on their bikes in toques, black leggings, and grey woolen jerseys. I had no sense that my friends' older brothers were in the woods and that my childhood backyard could be navigated in ways that bore no relation to our family walks in Lynn Canyon and along the Baden Powell. What was going on had been going on since the early 1980s. School friends Ross Kirkwood and Brian Ford were among the earliest trail builders on the North Shore.1 In 1980, Ford lived on Peters near Lynn Canyon.

  • As Bike Use Rises, So Do Retail Sales in Thriving Market
    As bike use rises, so do retail sales in thriving market By Steve Frothingham n Vancouver, bike shops are like coee shops: ere’s one on every corner.” ‘ISo said Vancouver retailing veteran Michael eil, owner of the three-store chain Bicycle Sports Pacic. His comment was validated as the BRAIN Vancouver Dealer Tour pedaled from shop to shop around the city over three days in June. Sometimes we didn’t need our bikes: We could walk a few steps between shops. Despite the retail density, most shops appeared to be thriving; many owners and managers reported that their biggest challenge was oen getting and keeping employees in the booming economy (see related story on page DT2). e health of bike retailing in the third-largest metro area in Canada stems from several factors, but most notably from a massive investment in bike in- frastructure by the city, nearby municipalities and the provincial government over the past six years or so (see related story on pages DT2-3). e fast-growing popu- lation, dominated by folks who value healthy outdoor lifestyles, is largely in full support of the investment. Bike use is up, and so are bike sales. Vancouver’s North Shore, and other nearby rid- ing destinations like Squamish and Whistler, are re- nowned for their hard-core mountain biking, and re- tailers near those hot spots continue to sell big-dollar mid- and longer-travel bikes and related gear. We visited some of those shops in North Vancouver, near the North Shore riding area, on our second day (see related story on page DT3).

  • The North Shore Public Consistently Rates
    The North Shore public consistently rates trails as the most highly used of all park facilities - District of North Vancouver Parks and Open Spaces Strategic Plan, 2012 On behalf of the North Shore Mountain Bike Association, its members, Directors, and community stakeholders, thank you to our new mayor and members of council for your commitment to the District of North Vancouver; thank you to DNV Parks, Engineering, and Environment Staff for ongoing support, dialogue, and communication; and thank you to the previous council for their vision and financial commitments to the NSMBA. Without the support of the DNV, we would be unable to provide the health, social, and environmental benefits to the community do. NSMBA Council Delegation, April 1st, 2019 Supplement Background The North Shore Mountain Bike Association (“NSMBA”) is a not-for-profit charity organization which has advocated for and maintained mountain bike and multi-use trails on the North Shore for 21 years. We are volunteer-driven, dedicated to caring for an environmentally sustainable trail network within the community, with a mission of “Trails for all, trails forever”. The NSMBA currently maintains in excess of 80 kilometers of primarily multi-use trails on Mount Fromme and the base of Mount Seymour; many of these trails are on District of North Vancouver (“DNV”) Parklands. Since 2013, the NSMBA has formally delivered a structured trail maintenance program funded in part by the DNV on Mount Fromme, with the ​Community Driven Model for Sustainable Trail Maintenance (Appendix 1), and the ​Fromme Mountain Trail Maintenance Services Agreement. This model utilizes both paid trail crew, the volunteer leverage of the NSMBA, and additional community support ensuring a safe, progressive, ecologically sustainable trail network can be maintained for the trail users of the future, as trail use and outdoor recreation grow and increase the demands upon the network.
