Anyone who rides a bike will have experienced the frustration of being dumped from your safe, enjoyable route onto a busy highway or unpaved, narrow footpath and that\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to change. UnGapTheMap is about securing a <strong>network of direct, paved and well-lit bikeways<\/strong> that can be ridden by anyone at any time of year.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>300 Gaps in the Bike Network in Metro Vancouver<\/h3>\n<p>HUB Cycling\u2019s local committees have already identified <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1AQZc82l4NaimjghghJvL9_PzoVg&amp;usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">over 300 gaps across Metro Vancouver<\/a> which are stopping more people cycling. The gaps range from minor spot improvements, such as improving signage or adding bike crossings, to building new bike lanes in areas of high ridership like along Powell Street in Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p>As well as identifying the routes in need of improvement, HUB Cycling is working with municipalities, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and TransLink to highlight the priority gaps and encourage government to implement solutions that will help more people cycle, more safely.<\/p>\n<h3>Cycle Highways for Metro Vancouver<\/h3>\n<p>One of the solutions that HUB Cycling is championing is <strong>cycle highways<\/strong> which are continuous paved and lit paths, are separated from pedestrians and motor vehicles, and suitable for people of all ages and abilities. Cycle highways have proved extremely successful in Europe and could work well on routes such as Vancouver to Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. HUB Cycling is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bccc.bc.ca\/metro_vancouver_cycle_highways\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asking MLAs<\/a> to support the introduction of cycle highways in Metro Vancouver.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22460\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22460\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bikehub.ca\/ungapthemap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"22460\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/hub-cycling-ungap-the-map-in-metro-vancouver\/separated-bike-lane-in-vancouver-with-multiple-cyclists\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Separated-bike-lane-in-Vancouver-with-multiple-cyclists.jpg?fit=750%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,380\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Separated bike lane in Vancouver with multiple cyclists\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;More and more people are getting to work by bike, thanks to decent infrastructure in many cities.
