In this series we stop people along the bike lanes in Vancouver and have chats with them about their thoughts on cycling, their bikes, and more. Have a look at the archive HERE.
Name?
Oliver.
Do you bike around the seawall often?
Yes, I live just over there.
Where else do you like to ride?
The bike park in North Van. We go over the Lions Gate bridge in the car.
What do you do there?
I go over the wobbly bumps.
Can you tell me about your bike?
The pedals move, and there are lights for when it's night time. There's a reflector on the back for when it's dark out, but I can't really reach it.
What's this nozzle on your bike wheel for?
It's for putting gas and air in there. I've got a card in my pocket. It's my wobbly bridge (Capilano Suspension Bridge) card for paying for my gas.
When did you get your bike?
For my birthday.
When was that?
In August. I turned three.
What did you ride before you got this bike?
I rode my Strider [balance bike].
Does this one go faster?
Yeah.
Do you have any favourite books?
Superworm.
Did you have a good Christmas? Did you get any cool toys?
I got a thing that you can build with a propeller [Magformers].
Do you have a favourite games that you like to play when at home?
I play hide and go seek with Mommy, and I like to park my car in the parking garage.
