E-scooters are ready to roll in North Vancouver ■ BRENT RICHTER

Electric kick scooters are now legal in the City and District of North Vancouver under a two-year pilot project.

The “micro-mobility” conveyances have been growing in popularity, and the city’s new mobility strategy specifically emphasizes creating non-auto options for getting around.

Here’s what you should know before you decide to go for a scoot.

What are the rules?

You do not need a driver’s licence to ride e-scooters, but you must be at least 16 years old. Helmets are mandatory.

The scooters themselves must have a maximum speed of 24 kilometres per hour and their motors cannot exceed 500W of output. They must have brakes, lights, and a bell or horn, and riders must also ride single file and slow down when near pedestrians.

Only the stand-up models with handlebars are allowed. Hoverboards, electric skateboards, and one-

great North Shore hikes for kids

Here are the top kid-friendly trails in North and West Vancouver, from local hiking book author Stephen Hui.

Hatchery (free admission), which features an inside look at the river and any fish swimming in it.

■ NICK LABA

With its mountainside slopes, evergreen forest and numerous bodies of water, the North Shore is home to a network of world-class hiking trails – a number of them accessible to both you and your kiddos.

Vancouver-based author Stephen Hui recently released his newest book, Best Hikes and Nature Walks With Kids In and Around Southwestern British Columbia.

Here are his five favourite hikes in North and West Vancouver to enjoy with the whole family.

Capilano Canyon – North Vancouver Easily accessible by transit, Capilano Canyon has a list of attractions packed into a relatively small area. The Cleveland Dam, old growth trees and various viewing platforms provide plenty of eye candy.

Along the route, hikers can visit the Capilano Salmon

Admission is by donation

Fisherman’s Trail – North Vancouver Hui says the Fisherman’s Trail along the Seymour River is wonderful, especially with its suspension bridge – the newest one built by Metro Vancouver. On Dec. 7, 2014, a devastating rock slide tore through the area.

The trail features lush forest with picnic tables at the mid-valley viewpoint.

Dog Mountain – North Vancouver For something higher, Hui recommends Dog Mountain up Mount Seymour, which is perfect for helping little hikers feel like they’re mountain climbing.

It’s best to do it in summer, as snow comes in the fall, and heavy melting in the spring makes the trail muddy and nearby creeks hazardous.

Lynn Canyon – North Vancouver Many who hike on the North Shore are familiar with Lynn Canyon and its many attractions, including the suspension bridge and Twin Falls.

The relatively flat terrain makes for easy hiking, and there are a number of places to swim in the cool water on a hot day. Rice Lake is also nearby.

Cypress Falls – West Vancouver Lesser known than some of its North Shore cousins, Cypress Falls presents a small degree of challenge with some steeper terrain.

But there’s plenty to look forward to: canyons, waterfalls and even hollow trees – “Those are always fun,” Hui said.

Summer is the perfect time of year to check out this North Shore hiking gem with your kids.

Thinking of hiking the Grouse Grind?

Here’s how to make it there and back safely.

■ BRENT RICHTER

Do you love exploring the North Shore’s famous hiking trail system? If you are a frequent hiker, you may want to check out a new initiative aimed at getting people out on the trails and then getting them home safely.

BC AdventureSmart, the province’s trail safety and education agency, has launched a series of videos aimed at making sure hikers get the most of their trail experience without biting off more than they can chew.

Here’s what AdventureSmart had to say about the Grouse Grind, one of the most popular hikes in Metro Vancouver.

There are sweet bragging rights waiting for everyone who makes it to the top, but because of its popularity, people routinely underestimate how tough Mother Nature’s StairMaster, as it’s affectionately known, can be. It requires a base level of physical fitness

to be safely climbed.

The trailhead gate is only opened when weather and trail conditions allow, typically from May to October. Always check with Metro Vancouver before you go. Just past the gate, the trail forks. Keep left to head up the Grind.

“It’s not uncommon for us to probably do about 20 to 25 Grouse Grind or BCMC rescues in a summer season.”

For the first few gentle minutes of the hike, you might be lulled into a false sense of security that the rest of the way won’t be so bad. Don’t kid yourself.

The trail is very well marked so getting lost isn’t typically an issue but, by the time you reach the one-quarter mark, you will have had a taste of what’s to come. A lot of people realize at this point that they don’t have the stamina or the water needed to make it to the top, and make the smart decision to turn back.

It only gets tougher from here.

In terms of terrain, you’ll find much of the path is mostly stairs, or roots and rocks.

At times, you’ll need to use your hands to scramble up particularly steep sections.

BC AdventureSmart recommends taking plenty of breaks to rest, hydrate and have a snack. If you start feeling dizzy, it’s time to stop.

Good things brewing on the North Shore

quench

■ ANDY PREST

The North Shore will forever hold a piece of Canadian brewing history, as West Vancouver holds the distinction as the site of the country’s first ever microbrewery.

Horseshoe Bay Brewery started brewing beer for the nearby Troller Bay Pub in 1982, long before the craft beer boom exploded on the West Coast decades later.

Horseshoe Bay Brewery is no longer pumping out the suds on the North Shore – although it spawned some other B.C. breweries that are still very much alive – but in its place are now 13 North Vancouver breweries, a number that seemingly rises each year.

Many of those establishments are clustered in the City of North Vancouver’s burgeoning Brewery District, a neighbourhood that now boasts eight breweries within easy walking distance of each other.

It’s not just beer that’s brewing here though.

North Vancouver is now also home to five craft distilleries, one winery, and the province’s first-ever urban cidery. Check out the map on the right for locations of all of North Vancouver’s breweries, distilleries, wineries and cideries, and read on for a description of each establishment.

BREWERIES 1 Beere Brewing Company Opened in 2017 in the Brewery District by the Beere family (what a coincidence!), this brewery is known for its creative fruity sours.

7 House of Funk Brewing Another early arrival to the Brewery District, House of Funk is known for its unique selection of bold and flavourful beers.

2 Black Kettle Brewing Tucked away near the soon-to-be-built Harbourside development, Black Kettle boasts an enviable food menu with a large outdoor seating area.

8 La Cerverceria Astilleros This is a Mexican-themed joint in the Brewery District, featuring authentic tiles imported from Mexico. The Salted Lime Lager is their signature beer.

3 Braggot Brewing The newest addition to the North Shore brewery scene, Braggot specializes in an ancient beverage, called braggot, that is somewhere between mead and beer.

9 Lonsdale BridgeDeck No actual beer is brewed here, but it’s a sister establishment to Bridge Brewing’s brewery. Unlike the brewery, which is tucked away in a bit of a light industrial neighbourhood, the BridgeDeck has a prime spot right on Lonsdale Avenue.

4 Bridge Brewing Company The OG of the North Shore craft beer revival, Bridge Brewing offers some local favourites such as North Shore Pale Ale and the Bourbon Blood Orange wheat ale.

5 Deep Cove Brewers & Distillers Another early adopter on the North Shore, Deep Cove does double duty as a brewery and distillery.

6

Green Leaf Brewing Green Leaf is known for its patio situated in an absolutely prime location overlooking the plaza at Lonsdale Quay Market with the Vancouver skyline behind.

10 North Point Brewing Co. Another Brewery District hotspot, North Point also has an upstairs tasting room that can be rented out for private events, parties, corporate meetings, and even photoshoots.

11 Shaketown Brewing A recent addition to the North Shore craft beer scene, Shaketown in the Brewery District offers some interesting beers that are high on flavour while being low on alcohol content. ➞

VANCOUVER’S NORTH SHORE

who patrol the area but still, District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services members find themselves doing the Grouse Grind all the time, to help injured and exhausted hikers back down.

“It’s not uncommon for us to probably do about 20 to 25 Grouse Grind or BCMC rescues in a summer season,” said Chief Brian Hutchinson. “Know your limits.”

The most common problems are ankle injuries because people choose to hike in footwear that isn’t appropriate for climbing a mountain in rough terrain. People also need to get carried out because they’ve become too exhausted.

And there have been a number of fatalities on the trail over the years, mostly due to heart attacks. Even people who think they’re in decent health find out otherwise because of the exertion the trail requires.

Also be wary of changing weather conditions too, Hutchinson warned, noting they routinely deal with patients who are either overheated or hypothermic, depending on what time of year it is.

The vast majority of people will get back to the parking lot via the Grouse Mountain resort’s SkyRide tram, at a cost of $20. It takes about 15 minutes, although there may be a lineup.

You can also take the BCMC Route back through the forest, although it is not as well developed as the Grind and it is strenuous

Where can you ride them?

The City and District of North Vancouver have harmonized their rules for where people may ride. They are permitted on local streets that do not have a solid line separating lanes, any mobility/bike lanes, and paved multi-use paths like the Spirit Trail or Green Necklace. They aren’t allowed on arterial roads unless they’re within bike lanes. In the city, that means there are no legal northsouth options between St. Andrews and Chesterfield avenues. In the district, there is no legal way to ride from Parkgate to Deep Cove.

Sidewalks and plazas are strictly off limits.

Because the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) was not included in the pilot, it will still be technically illegal to ride scooters through the Mosquito Creek segment of the Spirit Trail.

Enforcement for those scooting around the rules will be done by the RCMP with violators subject to a $109 fine.

West Vancouver also voted to join the pilot project in 2021, but as of July 2022, council hadn’t yet come up with rules for where they may be allowed, so they remain illegal there.

Safety first Tony Sun, owner of Reckless Shipyards, which sells and rents e-scooters, warns that a lot of folks crash.

“Too many,” he says, deadpan.

Because the wheels are relatively small, there’s minimal surface contact, which means every little bump on the path is going to give you quite a jostle. People most often crash when they’re trying to take corners too fast, when the roads are wet, or when there are bumps or debris on the road.

Beyond the mandatory helmet, Sun advises people to wear elbow pads, knee pads and gloves especially.

“In those accidents, your hands become the brakes,” he said.

Who are e-scooters ideal for?

Sun will be the first to tell you, e-scooters aren’t for everyone.

He doesn’t recommend them if your trip is more than five kilometres, or 15 to 20 minutes at a time. Beyond that, the ride tends to become uncomfortable. When it comes to stability, comfort and visibility, e-bikes are a much preferable option, he said.

They are ideal for “last mile” commutes.

They fold up easily, which means they can be carried on transit or fit in the trunk

of a car. If you have a 15-minute walk after getting off the SeaBus, an e-scooter can get that done in about one minute.

“It’s a really easy ride. It only takes me half an hour, 35 minutes, which is not a bad commute at all…I get to skip all the traffic and have a nicer ride.”

If you are planning to tackle steep hills like the ones found across the North Shore, a 500W model will be necessary, Sun said.

Most entry level e-scooters will have 20 kilometres of range, but higher end ones can go as far 50 km on a charge. A decent model will start at about $700, but you can pay as much as $3,000.

They have their fans though. On dry days, Blueridge resident Nick Toren has already been making the 13-kilometre commute to his job at Park Royal, mostly in bike lanes and on the Spirit Trail.

Toren was already a scooter fan, simply because they’re fun, but when gas prices crept above $1.90 per litre, he made the switch.

“It’s a really easy ride. It only takes me half an hour, 35 minutes, which is not a bad commute at all,” he said. “I get to skip all the traffic and have a nicer ride.”

Test ride To get a feel for the latest mobility option, I took a test ride from Reckless Shipyards to my office on Brooksbank Avenue and back along the Spirit Trail.

I got off to a wobbly start. You’ve got to lean back when you hit the brakes, as it’s remarkably easy to make these things endo.

By the time I’d reached East Esplanade, I’d gained a bit of confidence and at this point, it was just plain fun. I might have even uttered ‘Weeee!’ while passing by Moodyville Park.

Sun is absolutely correct though. Every bump makes your ride go a little squirrely.

The scuffs and dings on my rental scooter tell me some folks have learned this the hard way.

And even though the electric motor does all the work, my legs and arms got fairly fatigued from standing/holding on.

Basically, anything an e-scooter can do, an e-bike can do better, but the scooters are an entertaining, carbon-free, congestion-free way of getting around.

Throughout my test ride, somewhere in the back of my mind, I had a nagging suspicion: Do I look a bit silly on this thing?

On my drive back home, I hit bridge traffic on Third Street at Queensbury Avenue. On the radio news, they were telling me that gas is $2.22 per litre and likely to jump another five cents.

Now who looks silly?

North Shore farmers markets this summer

These markets across North and West Vancouver feature a cornucopia of craft producers

■ NICK LABA

For those looking for a more direct line to local food producers this harvest season, the North Shore has four farmers markets for you to browse until the cows come home.

To get your hands on the freshest produce available, head to Loutet Farm at 1400 Rufus Ave. in North Vancouver. As part of the Edible Garden Project, food grown on public park land and in a schoolyard garden at Sutherland Secondary is sold biweekly.

Loutet’s Farm Community Market is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday from May to the end of October.

At the market, you’ll find Bad Dog Bread, also hailing from North Van. The bakery uses organic B.C. grains to make naturally leavened bread and other baked goodies.

There’s also Nectaro, a Vancouver-based health drink company that makes wellness shots with cold-pressed ginger, fresh lemon and raw, local clover honey.

Visit Loutet on Wednesdays 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. for fresh fruits and veg grown on the farm.

Live closer to the North Shore’s urban core? Check out Lonsdale farmers market in Lonsdale Quay’s East Plaza at 123 Carrie Cates Ct. on Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

While you’re there, get your fungal fix from Whistler Harvest, a vertical farming company based in the Sea-to-Sky region. The grower sells cultivated gourmet microgreens and mushrooms, as well as foraged ones.

Or, treat both your tastebuds and eyes to a picturesque Japanese baked pudding from Early Bird Desserts. These delicate confections are made with ingredients flown directly from Japan or grown locally in B.C. There’s also another market for North Van urbanites at the civic plaza at 141 14th St. West on Wednesdays 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

If you’re in West Van, take a seaside stroll down to Ambleside farmers market at 1000 Argyle Ave. on Sundays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Looking for some beachy bling? Peruse the wares of Vancouver-based jewelry and glassware maker Glasea. All pieces are handmade using borosilicate glass, a durable material commonly used for laboratory glassware.

If starting your day with zest sounds apeeling, get your hands on a batch of dehydrated lemons from Lemonjarz. Don’t drink enough water because you find it boring? Pop in a citrusy slice.

To find even more pop-up artisan shops, use the BC Farmers’ Market Trail tool at bcfarmersmarkettrail.com with over 145 locations to explore.
