It was caused by a truck driver who was only thinking about the most important rule of the road - cars CANNOT be blocked.

Marge and Dennis ride their trikes on this AAA (all ages and abilities) trail every day.We need safe bike routes in every city, so that many more seniors can cycle in safety.

It runs all the way from Science World in Vancouver to the New Westminster Quay. It's a challenging but very interesting bike ride. Parts are magical, other parts still need work to make them pleasant. It is NOT a AAA route (all ages and abilities), even though it aspires to be. Still, it is quite an awesome route, covering 24 km (15 miles) from Vancouver, through Burnaby, and into New Westminster. It is remarkably flat most of the time, but there are a few uphills.
