Another reason to #JoinVPD is the opportunity to patrol with us on a bike. Whether it's by road, trail, beach or seawall, we have it all.

With shorter days and inclement weather we're reminding cyclists to take more care while commuting.

Signs signs everywhere a sign! Over the last few weeks @VPDBikes has frequently patrolled areas on the seawall that are clearly marked ‘no bikes.’ Lots of tourists following the sidewalk signs that appear to make it ok. #nowtheyknow

Tonight is the night! Make sure you drop by, say hi and pick yourself up a FREE bike light so that you can help “Light the Night Right”.
8 Aug 2022
If you cycle at night, you know how important it is that people see you. @VPDTrafficUnit officers and @WECHCPC volunteers will be giving out FREE bike lights tomorrow evening on Stanley Park Dr. at the west end of Beach Ave. Don't get left in the dark! #LightTheNightRight
