Commuting by bicycle during Vancouver's summer can be quite pleasant. Three times a week from June to October, I took this route from my home in the suburb of Burnaby, through Vancouver to Sierra Wireless, Inc. in the suburb of Richmond, where I was working on contract. The trip took about 40 to 45 minutes each way, a distance of some 13 km.

The bike at home	Cycling south to Metrotown	Grange St. at Willingdon Ave.
Near Patterson Ave.	West through Central Park, Burnaby	Now in Vancouver, going west on 45th Ave.
Near Killarney School	South on Nanaimo St.	Argyle near 54th Ave.
57th Ave. at Knight St.	South down Knight St.	Merging with Knight St. Bridge traffic
Fraser River, looking west	Traffic on the Knight St. Bridge	Ikea on Bridgeport, Richmond
Looking north back over the bridge	South on No. 6 Road	Sierra Wireless - the destination
Coming home now - Greenacres Golf Course on No. 6 Road	A jet heading west to land	Fraser River looking east
Looking down while riding (don't try this at home)	A nice house on Fraserview, looking southeast	I want a watchtower like this!
Two bike routes meet	Nice flowers, east on 45th Ave. Central Park is in the background again.	Photos were taken with a Konica disposable outdoor camera using C41 35 mm film, and processed and scanned by London Drugs. I wrangled the images with Apple's new iPhoto software and BBEdit. << Back to penmachine.com home \| < Other photo essays
