Getting around by bike means relying on safe and convenient places to park. We are continuously adding new bike racks throughout public spaces, while also working with businesses and residential buildings to help increase the number of bike racks on private properties.
All cyclists are reminded use a quality bike lock when affixing to the racks and to register their bikes with Project 529.
Free Bike Racks Available
The City is offering businesses and multi-unit residential buildings the opportunity to apply for up to four inverted-U bicycle racks at no cost. In addition, the City will pay a portion of the installation costs. This initiative is part of the City’s Blue Skies Transportation Fund in an effort to increase access to cycling infrastructure throughout the community. This will be offered for a limited time on a first-come, first serve basis.
Rebates Available to Purchase an E-Bike
Starting June 1, 2023, B.C. residents can apply for a rebate from the Province of BC when they buy a new electric bike. Find out more at bcbikerebates.ca.

About the Blue Skies Transportation Fund
The purpose of the Blue Skies Transportation Fund is to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions through transportation initiatives. The Fund was created in support of the Community Climate Action Plan and includes funding from the Province’s Local Government Climate Action Program (LGCAP), which can be used for a wide range of initiatives to support green transportation.
