Another reason to #JoinVPD is the opportunity to patrol with us on a bike. Whether it's by road, trail, beach or seawall, we have it all.

With shorter days and inclement weather we're reminding cyclists to take more care while commuting.

#ProTip Make eye contact with drivers and use hand signals to communicate where you want to go.

A reminder to be safe with the cold weather and shorter days upon us.
Remember:
- check your bike and equipment
- wear appropriate gear for the weather
- have a bell as well as rear and front lights

@kentcclark @CityofVancouver 2/2 Then the city put a bike lane up on Beach Ave and restricted bikes on the seawall from roughly the base of Hornby St to Stanley Park.

[VPD Bikes @VPDBikes]

Signs signs everywhere a sign! Over the last few weeks @VPDBikes has frequently patrolled areas on the seawall that are clearly marked ‘no bikes.’ Lots of tourists following the sidewalk signs that appear to make it ok. #nowtheyknow

[VPD Bikes @VPDBikes]

@kentcclark @CityofVancouver 1/2 This is actually a bit of confusing signage. The green pedestrian and bicycle signs were originally put up to differentiate between walking and cycling paths. For safety, not social distancing.

Tonight is the night! Make sure you drop by, say hi and pick yourself up a FREE bike light so that you can help “Light the Night Right”.

[Vancouver Police @VancouverPD]

Multiple people are in hospital with serious injuries, including an armed suspect who was shot by #VPD officers in the 900 block of Granville Street late last evening. More information will be released when it is available. There is no risk to public safety at this time.

[VPD Bikes @VPDBikes]

@OutOnPatrolPres @SeanVancouver There’s clearly no pleasing everyone in this job. Luckily the kids loved it! And that says everything.

[Chris Birkett @OutOnPatrolPres]

The first @VancouverPD #StrathconaBikeSmart program has started! The kids are currently getting their free #BikeSafety equipment courtesy of @VanPoliceFnd! Then @VPDBikes will teach them some skills, before @VPDTrafficUnit teach them about rules of the road. Gonna be a great day!

[Chris Birkett @OutOnPatrolPres]

The #BikeSafety equipment has arrived at @VancouverPD for the #StrathconaBikeSmart program! (100 sets of helmets, reflectors, USB lights, bells, an locks).

We still have a few spots left for this Friday July 29th! Email [email protected] to register! @VanPoliceFnd #BikeSmart
