Summary

In partnership with local foods grocer and eatery Harvest Community Foods, Bike-n-Business (BNB) designed and piloted cost-effective cycling amenities, including helmet hooks for easy helmet storage, fixit kits that provide convenient bike maintenance tools, and bike-friendly decals and marketing materials. These amenities are designed to help make businesses more accessible and convenient for cyclists. BNB officially launched on December 8, 2012 at Harvest Community Foods.

The installation of bike lanes in Vancouver caused a lot of resistance from business owners that claim that their sales will decrease from the absence of parking spaces at their storefronts. Businesses like Harvest understand that there is a lot of potential in engaging cyclists on the Adanac Bikeway and hopes to increase their client base by doing so.
