First off, the best place to start if you're cycling in Vancouver & the Lower Mainland, is the HUB Cycling resources page. You'll find tips on route planning & maps, insurance & theft prevention, buying a bike, rules of the road & safety tips, cycling groups, issues & improvements, bike friendly businesses, plus data on cycling.
A few related videos I've found useful:
- A great video aimed at children on checking your bike is safe to ride.
- The Towel Method (or Bedsheet Method) to support a child while they're learning to ride.
Last but not least is the Vancouver Family Biking Facebook group. This is a closed group, so you'll need to request to join & be sure to acknowledge that you've read the group rules so you can become a member. It's a friendly little community with a couple thousand cycling parents who regularly share tips, gear, & help each other find bike, child seats, & advice on anything related to family cycling.
