New Vancouver-inspired bike racks to be unveiled this week

The city’s about to get fancier with their bike racks.

Last year, the City of Vancouver hosted a contest, asking residents to help design the bike racks to add some Vancouver flavour to them.

These designs reflected the unique qualities that the city has to offer, like the mountains, the greenery, and of course, the constant rain.

Join us at Stamps Landing for some trivia & prizes to celebrate the installation of 6 new bike racks from last year’s #BikeRackDesignContest! To find out where more winning bike racks are located around the city, visit https://t.co/k1eZncvopA. #VIVAVancouver pic.twitter.com/FMioDfCiku
