Your Guide to Biking to World Cup Events in Vancouver
Biking will be one of the most enjoyable ways to get to World Cup events in Vancouver this summer. Our Bike Valet team is here to make your trip feel simple and stress free, so you can focus on soaking in the atmosphere knowing your ride is safely looked after. Whether you are heading to BC Place on match days, taking in the FIFA Fan Festival at the PNE, or celebrating at Canada House at The Shipyards on the North Shore, Bike Valet powered by BEST Mobility has you covered.
Below, you will find everything you need to know about where to find us, how bike valet works, and some of the best ways to ride to the action.
Why Bike to World Cup Events?
With large crowds expected across the region, biking or scootering can be one of the smoothest ways to get around during the tournament. Instead of sitting in traffic or searching for parking, you can roll right up to the action, check your ride securely with our team, and head straight into the celebrations.
What You Need to Know
Bike Valet is completely free and available for bikes, scooters, and e-bikes. We’ll take anything that rolls, even strollers.
