The City of Vancouver is boasting that cycling numbers have continued to grow, with July breaking records on five major bike routes across the city. Other bike lanes like Hornby Street and the Dunsmuir Viaduct didn't break records but reached some of the highest trip numbers since they were built. Paz said some of the biggest factors that determine ridership are weather, infrastructure like bike lanes, lower speed limits and bike sharing. Building protected bike lanes is key to attracting more riders like children and women, she said, because they tend to take fewer risks than men on the road. "If you see a lot of women cycling then you know you're doing something right," Paz said.
