Wet winters, steep streets

The North Shore gets a lot more rain than the south side of the inlet, and a bike under a carport in Lynn Valley or Edgemont ages fast. Expect a flat battery, a seized chain and brakes that need work. None of that stops us from buying it.

Plenty of streets here are steep and narrow. Tell us if the bike is on a sloped driveway or down a set of stairs so we can plan how to move it safely.

Bridge timing

Every North Shore pickup crosses the Lions Gate or the Ironworkers, so we plan around rush hour. Mid-morning and early afternoon are usually the easiest times to book.

North Shore areas we cover

Lower Lonsdale, Central Lonsdale, Upper Lonsdale, Lynn Valley, Lynnmour, Deep Cove, Seymour, Edgemont, Capilano and Pemberton Heights, plus West Vancouver from Ambleside to Horseshoe Bay. Over the bridges we cover Vancouver and Burnaby.

Got an electric bike or scooter for the hills that's stopped working? See e-bikes and electric motorcycles.

Steep driveways

Lonsdale, Upper Lynn Valley and the British Properties have some of the steepest driveways in the region. Don't try to roll a dead bike down to the street on your own. We'll load it from where it sits.

Two bridges

Every North Shore pickup crosses the Lions Gate or the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, and both get slow at rush hour. Midday is usually the easiest time to book.

Rain and bikes

The North Shore gets a lot of rain, so bikes stored outside wear fast. Seized chains, flat tires and corroded electrics are normal. We price them as they are.

Deep Cove and the east side

Deep Cove and Seymour pickups are a bit farther out. They're easier to book when you're flexible on the day.

Bikes stored for winter that never came out

A lot of North Shore bikes go into the garage for the rainy season and never come back out. After a few winters, the battery's dead, the fuel's stale and the tires have flat spots. We buy them as they sit, and it's one of the most common calls we get from the North Shore.

Paperwork for a North Shore pickup

The registration signed by every owner, photo ID, and the plate off the bike. You sign ICBC's Transfer/Tax Form after you're paid, and the driver brings it. If the bike was financed, check for a lien at the Personal Property Registry first.

West Vancouver

We cover West Vancouver too, from Ambleside up to the British Properties. Tell us about gates and the driveway.

Questions people ask

Do you pick up in West Vancouver?

Yes. West Van and the rest of the North Shore are part of our regular area.

Can you take a bike from a house with a steep driveway?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the slope and whether the bike rolls when you call.

Is there a best time to book a North Shore pickup?

Mid-morning or early afternoon, when bridge traffic is lighter.

Do you pick up in Lynn Valley and Deep Cove?

Yes. Lynn Valley pickups are usually garages and steep driveways. Deep Cove is farther out, so a flexible day helps us fit it in. Tell us about the driveway and where the truck can stop, and we will plan the pickup around it.

Can you load a bike that won't roll from a steep driveway?

Yes. Tell us before we come so the driver plans for it. Please do not try to move a dead bike down a steep slope yourself: it is heavy, it can get away from you, and it is much easier for us to load it where it sits.
