Bicycle routes: Pender Street

The cycling facilities on Pender Street are Vancouver's first on-street facilities in the downtown and provide a route from Cardero Street to Carrall Street with a traveling time of approximately 11 minutes.

Between Carrall and Cambie Streets, dedicated bicycle lanes have been installed. In June of 2000, temporary bike facilities were installed along Pender between Cambie and Cardero Streets as part of a six-month trial. Between Cambie Street and Granville Street, the curb lanes have been designated as dedicated Bus-Bicycle lanes. Cars are only permitted in these lanes when preparing to make a right-turn. From Granville Street to Cardero Street, the curb lanes have been widened to create a wide curb lane that can be shared by cyclists and parked or moving cars.
