Cyclists in Vancouver have a leg up on other commuters when it comes to getting to work in the morning. HUB Cycling pitted cyclists against drivers and public transit riders in a race to downtown Vancouver as part of their Rush Hour Challenge. Team members left at the same time, from the same location, using different modes of transportation: bikes, cars and public transit. Previous races held by the organization saw cyclists, drivers, and public transit riders coming in at similar times when faced with a 20-kilometre commute. Results show that cyclists tend to have a leg up on public transit riders and vehicle drivers when it comes to commuting.
