Nearly two years ago we embarked on a journey to create a more dynamic and connected Vancouver by providing easy access to bikes throughout the city. Now, our first expansion is underway and taking us further into the neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant. Vibrant shops, restaurants, cafés and parks are plentiful here and we couldn’t be more excited to be adding bike share to the mix.

So grab your bike share bestie, hop on a Mobi by Shaw Go, and go explore the almost dizzying amount of cafes and breweries found in this historic neighbourhood. Not sure where to begin? We've made a few suggestions below and indicated the nearst Mobi by Shaw Go station to that stop. You can use our mobile app or online map to locate all Mobi by Shaw Go stations and avaialble bikes in Mount Pleasant.
