Because it’s super fun! And because it helps you feel like you’re part of a wider cycling community while supporting our local farms and food producers. The purpose of the Sunshine Coast Slow Food Cycle is to support local food and beverage producers and increase awareness of agricultural enterprises here on the coast while promoting the use of bicycles as a healthy and sustainable form of transportation. Founding Sponsor Second-Gear Sponsor Third-Gear Sponsors Frequently Asked Questions Can I walk or ride my scooter or other form of sustainable micromobility? Yes, although you may find it takes a long time to cover any of the available routes by foot! But so long as your mode of transportation is “single person sized” and electric or human-powered, we welcome your participation. What kind of food will be available at participating venues? Food offerings will differ from farm to farm depending on what is grown at each location, but you can expect to find fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms as well as some prepared foods (at the Shortcut food truck, for example) – and an incredible selection of cheeses at the Fromagerie De Baie! If we’re coming from the ferry, can we get a ride up the steep hill leading to upper Gibsons? Yes, we will be offering rides up the hill to people who pre-book and pay $5 in advance to reserve their ride. We’ll send out more info about this in future emails to registered participants. If you have any questions about this, please email heather.anderson@transportationchoices.ca . Where do I park? Parking is available at the Sunshine Coast Credit Union in Gibsons (985 Gibsons Way, Gibsons). There is no other designated parking. Please do not park on shoulders or other roadways that will interfere with cyclists. There is NO parking available at Persephone. Can I drive my car instead? Can I ride my e-bike? Yes, absolutely! We welcome e-bike users to participate. As with any situation where e-bikes and non e-bikes are riding together, we ask that all participants remain conscientious of their speeds and passing distances for the well-being of all road users. This is an event to promote active transportation so we would ask you not to drive as part of this event for safety reasons. There will be hundreds of cyclists on the roads where vendors are located that day and it would be better to keep cars separated from all those bikes as much as possible. We ask motorists to watch out for the hundreds of cyclists on the roads in upper Gibsons during the event and exercise patience and caution when they encounter cyclists. Do I have to register to participate? Yes, registration is required. As part of our efforts to keep everybody safe, we require all participants to read and sign our rider waiver to ensure you have all of the necessary information needed to participate in the event. What kind of safety measures will be in place to protect cyclists? We will have two managed crossings to help cyclists cross high-traffic areas. These crossings will be when crossing Highway 101 at the Roberts Creek turnoff (Hwy 101 at Highland Road) as well as at the intersection near Persephone (Hwy 101 at North Road/Stewart Rd). We will also have volunteer cyclists patrolling the routes to help people find where they’re going and ensure that cyclists all follow the rules of the road. As well, safety and info contact numbers will be supplied to all participants and the local authorities will be alerted to our event. Is this event safe for young children? This is a family-friendly activity and we encourage you to bring your children if they are experienced bike users or are being transported in a bike trailer or child seat on an adult bike. Most of the venues are on country roads, with some accessible only by riding through the town of Gibsons or for a short ride on the 101 highway just outside of town. Just be aware that ⚠️ participating cyclists will be sharing the roads with cars ⚠️, so only bring your kids if you’re comfortable with having them on bikes with larger vehicles driving past.

Sunshine Coast Bike Route What is the Sunshine Coast Bike Route? The Sunshine Coast Bike Route (SCBR) is a TraC project in partnership with the Sunshine Coast Tourism Association, local government, the Powell River Cycling Association and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The SC Bike Route is a designated bike-touring route linking the entire Sunshine Coast from Langdale to Powell River. It has been designed to draw more cycle tourists to the region, while also serving the needs of local cyclists. The more pedals on the road, the stronger the case for investment in bike lanes! Download the app The Sunshine Coast Bike route app is available for iPhone and contains everything cyclists need to enjoy a ride on the Coast: direct and scenic route options, hill profiles, restaurants and craft breweries and other sites of interest. Cyclists coming off the Langdale ferry are also greeted by a large Sunshine Coast Bike Route sign located in the overflow parking lot. The sign includes an overview map, directions on downloading the app, and custom made iron artwork. Local cycling tips Check out these local cycling tips . Sponsors TraC would like to thank the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation, Sunshine Coast Conservation Association, Sunshine Coast Cycling Association, BC Ferries, MOTI, TrailMapps, Phitted Designs, Beth Hawthorn Design, Tree Studios and countless volunteers for their time,

Dr. Kay Teschke Professor Emeritus, UB C School of Population and Public Health Research and Speakers Dr. Kay Teschke 's Cycling in Cities research program has contributed scientific evidence for building infrastructure that welcome cycling in North America. She has contributed to municipal, provincial, national, and international policies related to cycling, including reviews of traffic deaths and injuries, traffic law reform, benchmarking, helmet law reviews, and design toolkits. In January 2022, TraC hosted a lecture from Dr. Kay Teschke where she presented the results of two studies examining which types of cycle route infrastructure best promote biking and decrease injury risk. Session slides Session recording Mikael Colville-Andersen Urban designer, author, global cycling advocate Mikael Colville-Andersen is an urban designer, author, and a leading global voice in urbanism. He has worked in over 100 cities around the world, advising about how to design – and embrace – bicycle and pedestrian friendly streets in order to improve communities. Mikael is known for his pioneering philosophies about simplifying municipal planning and how towns should be designed instead of engineered. He is the author of Copenhagenize – The Definitive Guide to Global Bicycle Urbanism and host of the global television series, The Life-sized City . In 2021, Mikael presented a session to TraC members and local government a bout how we can create more livable communities on the Sunshine Coast through active transportation in our unique semi-rural location.

Bike Valet What's a bicycle valet? A bicycle valet is a volunteer-run service at events where attendees can park their bike in a secured area for free! A valet volunteer will always be present to check in/out your bike so you don’t have to worry about securing your bike while you’re enjoying the event. Why use a bike valet or host one? The service encourages attendees to ride their bicycles to the event. The benefits to users are a happier, healthier commute and not having to worry about securing your bike. For event organizers it helps create a “greener” event since it encourages alternative transportation and reduces problems with traffic congestion and vehicle parking which can interfere with event logistics and cause safety problems. Contact us to host a valet! How it works The bike valet works similar to a coat-check: Bring your bike to the valet. You will be given a card and a copy will be placed on your bike. BE SURE NOT TO LOSE THIS CARD! You will need this to pick up your bike. Your bike will be parked in a enclosed, highly-visible, volunteer-manned area. A volunteer will always be next to the bike area during the event to ensure your bike is secure. When it’s time to go home, bring your card and a volunteer will give you your bike! As the valet relies on volunteers, it is important to have a fixed closing time. All users will be asked to pick their bike up by a set time, determined with the event organizers. What happens if I lose my card? We rarely have problems and don’t expect you to lose your card. Treat it like cash, a driver’s license or another important document. How much is it? It’s completely free for people to leave their bikes at the bike valet. If you are an event organizer and would like to host one, we will set up and take down the valet at no charge. You have two options for manning the valet. Option 1: Your event provides the valet volunteers. We recommend at least two volunteers over the course of a shift. This way one can relieve the other at various times. We will train your volunteers how to run it. Option 2: We run the valet. We charge a hourly rate to operate. Can I park my child’s chariot or trailer? Yes! You can also leave your helmet and other cycling accessories by your bike. What happens if I forget to pick up my bike? By using the service you agree that we are not responsible for any bikes or associated equipment left after the valet closes. Leftover bikes will be left with the event organizers. Then it would be up to you to contact the event organizer to retrieve your bike. Are there other bike valets? We are certainly not the first group to organize a bike valet. Bicycle valets have been implemented in many areas of the world including the very successful Bicycle Valet in Vancouver, BC run by BEST. Interested in hosting a bike valet? Contact us !

< Back 2023 Report On Activities Dec 20, 2023 2023 was a busy year, find out what we got up to here. 2023 Report on Activities Advocacy Connect the Coast TraC is actively supporting advocacy efforts for the construction of a multi-use path (MUP) between Langdale and Sechelt. This initiative is now being led by the Connect the Coast Society (CTCS).Established in November 2022, CTCS is a registered charity that is solely focused on the MUP project. Two TraC board members also serve on the five-person CTCS board. Following the completion of a preliminary study a year ago, the Society’s focus in 2023 was on raising awareness of the initiative, building municipal support and seeking grant funding for the next phase of its work, specifically, the development of a detailed feasibility and planning study for the construction of a MUP on the highest priority segment. The District of Sechelt, the Sunshine Coast Regional District and the Town of Gibsons have all provided, or been asked to provide, letters of support for the MUP initiative. The Society has also engaged with the Shishalh and Squamish nations through their official channels. Statements of support and, in some cases, formal partnerships, are required for some grant applications. CTCS anticipates grant funding will play a vital role in moving the initiative forward. The Society has also received letters of support from various community organisations, including the Sunshine Coast Regional Economic Development Organization and Sunshine Coast Tourism, among others. The priority segment, described as sections 4 to 7 in the preliminary report, extends from North Fletcher Rd in Upper Gibsons to Highland Rd in Roberts Creek. A considerable amount of work is required to plan for MUP construction on this segment. This includes archaeological and environment assessments, development of conceptual and detailed engineering plans, and government and public consultation and engagement. The Society estimates the cost of planning - which will get us to a shovel-ready state for this first segment - to be approximately $1.5 million. To get this planning underway we are in the process of applying for a federal Green Municipal Fund grant, which could generate up to $175,000 in matching funds if we are able to raise another $175,000 from our municipal partners and other sources. The Society is also applying for a Rural Economic Diversification Infrastructure Program grant of up to $500,000. The Society is also seeking planning and financial support from the provincial government directly, and to that end has met with Minister Rob Fleming, from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, other members of his ministry, and with Jonathan Robinson, executive director of Healthy Living and Health Promotion in the Ministry of Health. TraC and the Society are grateful for the role MLA Nicholas Simon has played in helping us engage with the provincial government. The Society’s work is still primarily volunteer driven. In 2023 TraC was awarded a $22,000 grant from the federal Community Services Recovery Fund to build fundraising capacity and capability for the Connect the Coast initiative. These funds have been used to build a government relations program, which is essential to the initiative’s success and fundraising, and to develop a fundraising plan. In addition, private donors have contributed approximately $60,000 to support the initiative to date. In the year ahead, the Society will maintain its focus on stakeholder engagement, fundraising and getting next-phase planning underway. Town of Gibsons In 2022, TraC worked with staff at the Town of Gibsons to obtain a grant from the province to develop an Active Transportation Network Plan and in February of this year the Town of Gibsons was awarded a grant. The purpose of this process is to develop a comprehensive active transportation network that will enable residents and visitors to safely get around on foot or with wheels to various locations within the Town. TraC is an active member on the Advisory Committee along with other community organisations. District of Sechelt TraC continued to act as a District of Sechelt referral agency. This means that development plans that impact Active Transportation are forwarded to TraC to provide comments. This year we provided feedback on the following referrals: Subdivision Application 3320-2022-05 - DL 3259 Tuwanek Subdivision 3320-2022-13 - 5100 Chapman Road Rezoning application 3360-2022-06 - Lot 5 Tower Road 5981 Shoal Way Rezoning Application - 3360-2022-02 We also contributed to the update of the District of Sechelt Transportation Master Plan through document review and participation in a workshop. The Mason Road phase of the federal-provincial jointly funded Active Transportation Infrastructure Improvement Project in West Sechelt is almost complete. This phase connects the Sunshine Coast Highway and Reeves Road with a multi-use path separated from automobile traffic. The next phase of the project will improve infrastructure on Reeves Road to the Crowston Connector and Kinnikinnick Park. MOTI Outside our engagement with Connect the Coast and the VCH Active Travel for Kids Committee TraC did not have any other engagement with MOTI. SCRD TraC and Connect the Coast worked with the SCRD and requested support for the Connect the Coast preliminary design, plans to move forward with our feasibility and started the process of requesting financial support for our Green Municipal Fund grant. Bike Counter This past year TraC finally received funding to purchase a bike counter from Vancouver Coastal Health and the BC Cycling Coalition. In October, volunteers learned how to set-up the counter and piloted it in front of Roberts Creek Elementary. SD46 has since asked to have it placed in front of Gibsons Elementary. The next stop will be in front of Elphinstone Secondary/Hwy #101 to collect bi-ennial data for the next version of TraC’s Active Transportation Progress Report. Going forward, the counter is available to be placed anywhere on the coast. Active Transportation Progress Report The next version of TraC’s AT Progress Report (formerly known as the AT Report Card ) is almost complete and will be released by the end of the year. Other Advocacy In 2023, we attended MP Patrick Weiler’s pre-budget consultation. We also held private meetings with newly elected local government representatives to discuss active transportation issues. Events Active Advocacy Nights This year we significantly ramped up our Active Advocacy Nights with events like highway road sweeping in Sechelt, Selma Park, Davis Bay, Roberts Creek and Gibsons, plus levelling out a slightly challenging corner on Helen’s Way in Gibsons. TraC sincerely thanks all volunteers who come out to these fun and important evenings for a bit of cycle love, sweat and beers. TraC’s active advocacy nights inspired the design and fabrication of a prototype bike lane sweeper pulled by bike. This sweeper enables efficient removal of debris - such as scattered rocks, nails, glass, etc. - with an electrically powered brush that lifts debris into bins at the back of the sweeper. The sweeper can be pulled by any bike (but e-bikes help on hills) with the use of a standard bike trailer connection. It was built at Lal Bikes in Wilson Creek in collaboration with Pierre Lermant from California, who had the original idea for such a sweeper. The sweeper was thoroughly tested, with the learning from this testing going into the design of a next prototype sweeper. The long term goal is to explore whether these bike lane sweepers could be commercially built in quantity for use everywhere where bike lane sweeping is needed. Slow Food Cycle Over 300 cyclists participated in the first annual Sunshine Coast Slow Food Cycle July 30 in Upper Gibsons. Presented by TraC with generous support from sponsors, including the Founding Sponsor, the Sunshine Coast Credit Union, the event enabled cyclists to visit up to 14 participating venues on a self-guided route. Event highlights included food samples from roadside farm stands, build-your-own pizza with ingredients you gather yourself, tours of larger-scale farming operations and having a chance to converse directly with informed food producers and farmers. Also, we heard overwhelming support for how events like this that support cyclists gathering together in a safe way greatly increased their appreciation and respect for the community we have on the coast. We received very positive feedback from participating vendors and participants. One participant’s quote is worth mentioning. They said, “It was amazing to see all the cyclists attending, stop at farms I had never been to and talk to the farmers, and simply the community of it.“ We are happy to announce we will be putting this event on again on July 28, 2024 (tentative) in collaboration with the One Straw Society and other community members. Town of Gibsons E-Bike Ride In June, TraC invited Town of Gibsons councillors, staff, and other community representatives from SD46 and Vancouver Coastal Health on a guided e-bike tour of Gibsons. The 1.5 hour tour demonstrated some of the current safety challenges of cycling in our community, but also showcased the joys of e-biking and how it is making cycling much easier for all in Gibsons. Following the tour, one grinning councillor said they had not been on a bike since 1976, and subsequently purchased their own e-bike two days later! GoByBike Weeks TraC hosted Celebration Stations in Gibsons and Sechelt during GoByBike Weeks in May and a fun wrap-up party at The Gumboot for all volunteers and riders. Earth Day In April, TraC hosted their annual booth at the Robert Creek Earth Day festival. There was a bike valet, bike tune-ups, and lots of discussion on the potential for more active transportation on the coast. The Engine Inside Movie Screening In November, TraC hosted a successful screening of the cycling movie, “The Engine Inside” at the Heritage Playhouse. The event was a partnership between Trac and Shoreline Law and coordinated by TraC member, Tim Howard. Tickets (135) sold quickly. Schools and Youth VCH Active Travel for Kids Committee TraC continues to collaborate with this group of organisations to explore ways to encourage more active travel for kids on the Sunshine Coast. Attendees include: Vancouver Coastal Health, SD46, District of Sechelt, SCRD, Town of Gibsons, and SCRD Transit. A new coordinator, Sally McBride, has taken over from Lianne Carley. They have recently identified five areas of concern that they plan to focus their advocacy efforts on. Many thanks to Jody Schick who continues to support these efforts with his suggestions and research on appropriate AT infrastructure goals. SD46 Active School Travel Support TraC has also supported SD46 and their Active Travel Coordinator, Johan Strohman, with their own AT activities. Over the past year we have: Attended strategy planning meetings. Participated in an SD46 meeting with ICBC to discuss ways to make active school travel safer for kids on the Coast. Attended additional site visits with ICBC and Town of Gibsons. Helped with four ICBC Road Safety Blitzes held at schools across the coast. Donated prize money for Active Travel Weeks. Placed the bike counter in front of Gibsons Elementary. SD46 continues to work seriously in the area of active school travel. NDVR Video In 2018, TraC received a grant from Vancouver Coastal Health to purchase ten bikes for the NDVR program in Sechelt. NDVR is a Sunshine Coast Alternative School (SCAS) program for at-risk youth in grades 5-7. For five years now, students in NDVR have learned how to ride bikes safely and have worked on their skills on local mountain biking trails. Local filmmaker and TraC member Greg Compton wanted to highlight some of TraC’s achievements and chose to feature the success of the NDVR program. The video includes SCAS outdoor education teacher Tom Harder who shows how he teaches students to ride bikes confidently on pavement and local trails, building life-long skills. The video has been shared by SCAS teachers, by SD46 and is currently on the TraC website. Free Transit for Youth Feasibility Study In the fall, TraC actively assisted a consultant hired by the SCRD to conduct a feasibility study on free transit for youth on the Sunshine Coast. These results will be presented to the SCRD board in November. Other Activities Other activities that TraC has been up to in 2023 include: Hosted a table at the Greenline Electric Ferries Open House. Hosted a table at the Banff Mountain Film Fest. Organisation Membership TraC’s membership increased by 68% in 2023 to 222 members. There are also 1,100 subscribers on our mailing list. Thirty-one percent of our subscribers are “highly engaged and often open and click” our email newsletters. The majority of members (60%) are on an annual subscription plan that renews automatically via PayPal. New Website & Logo In early 2023, TraC received a new logo courtesy of member Pamela Lee. In September we created a new website with more functionality for events. Thank You! TraC would like to thank all our directors, volunteers, and members who worked hard this year to make all these activities happen.

Who you gonna call??? Active transportation routes on the Sunshine Coast are a maze of jurisdictional responsibility. If you have a safety or other concern here’s a primer on where to direct it. Not sure where the boundaries are? Check out the map below. This detailed map can also help. In Gibsons, road and path works are undertaken by the Town of Gibsons Public Works and Parks Departments: 604-886-2274 (unless it’s on the “Highway” which is MOTI-see below) or info@gibsons.ca . In Sechelt, road and path works (other than on Sunshine Coast Hwy 101) are the responsibility of the District of Sechelt Public Works Department 604-885-1986 or info@sechelt.ca . On shíshalh/SIGD lands, Public Works can be reached at 604-740-5600. Roads not in these municipalities but within the Sunshine Coast Regional Districts’ five rural areas are the responsibility of the Provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), (not the SCRD). The Ministry has a contract with Capilano Highway Services for their upkeep. This includes all of Hwy 101 and all other rural roads on the Coast. There is currently no MOTI contact for the Sunshine Coast. Stay tuned for updates. Capilano Highway Services staff can be reached at 604-740-0667 or tyler.lambert@capilanohighways.ca or on Twitter @CapHwy. The SCRD has licence on some road allowances for trail building, call the SCRD Parks Department at 604-885-6802. Forest Service Roads are the purview of FLNRORD’s Sunshine Coast Natural Resource District (Powell River) (604)-485-0700 or Forests.SunshineCoastDistrictOffice@gov.bc.ca Of course political policy advocacy should be directed towards the appropriate elected representatives as well. (eg. our MLA for Provincial Ministry matters). TraC is always happy to be cc’d on such correspondence: info@transportationchoices.ca
