It looks like Portland’s on-street bike parking program has inspired the city of Victoria, British Columbia.
An article published Sunday in the Victoria Times Colonist reports that, due to a demand for on-street, high-quality bike parking that outstrips supply, Victoria has modeled a bike parking program after Portland.

Improve your commute with bikepools
(Photo: Jonathan Maus)
We all know riding a bike to work is great, but bikepooling makes it even better. This is true especially for newbies who might need the buffer of a veteran (or just a friend) in order to start biking to work every day.
If you’ve never bikepooled, September is the perfect time to start. It’s Bike Commute Challenge month and in the spirit of competition, more folks than ever are getting to work on two wheels.
Southeast Portlander and PDOT staffer Kirsty Hall has planned bikepools each Wednesday this month.

The City of Vancouver & Small Museums by Bike are joining together to entice you to Visit Vancouver.
Forget the bus, we are going by bike. Starting at the 37 foot-6 ton mascot of Kenton, Paul Bunyan, City of Vancouver bicyclists will teach us how to get across a mysterious (ridiculous?) maze of turns and twists across the I-5 bridge. Also free copies of the new commuter bike map for Vancouver & Portland will be handed out.
Bring a bag lunch or money for the farmer’s market — We will eat lunch and explore Esther Short Park upon our arrival. Besides the usual happenings, the Peace & Justice Fair is also going on – including a chance to add your own square to the John Denver Peace Cloth! At 2 pm the Glockenspiel bell tower in the SE corner of the park, wakes up to tell the Chinook story of the salmon through a moving diorama and bells. You can’t miss this!
For a short visit, our Vancouver guides will return to Portland at 2:10 pm, guiding cyclists back to Oregon ground.
For a long visit: Small Museums by Bike will continue on for a full day visit of Vancouver’s art, history, and anything curious. Stops include: The 6th Street Art gallery which is hosting “Vancouver Grid Project”, the sculpture garden lane in downtown, The Clark County’s Historic Museum ($4 admission, “Vancouver Uncovered” exhibit), The First Burgerville, Old Apple Tree’s sibling (the original tree, is literally under construction), and a rare viewing of the “Church of Felix (the cat)” at the private home of a local photographer. A stop at Renaissance Ice Cream where art and food infuse may also be in order. Wow, Vancouver’s fun!
.
Helmets are required on the bridge crossing. Bring $ for museum stop and farmer’s market/ice-cream
Vancouverites may join the Small Museums by Bike ride in Vancouver at the SE corner of Esther Short Park at “the Glock” (W. Columbia St/6th Ave) at 2 pm. Be on time to view the Salmon story!
