June is Bike Month in Vancouver

Today marks the start of Bike to Work Week, which will help to prepare you for the month of June, otherwise known as Bike Month in Vancouver, BC. Make sure to check out information on the protected bike lanes and a full list of bike route profiles in the city. Remember to bring your helmet and lights, as they are both required for city cycling and you may be ticketed by Vancouver police if they catch you without them (trust me, I learned the hard way).

Top Ten Vancouver Brunch Spots

Few things come close the worthy pursuit of a delectable weekend brunch.

I would happily eat breakfast food for any meal of the day, so finding the best of the best is always tops on my list when I’m visiting new cities. For those who have yet to explore the Vancouver brunch scene, below you will find a fail proof starter list. Don’t see your favourite listed? Post it up in the comment box below. Sharing is caring.
