To get to Car Free Day in Port Coquitlam you can take one of the many bus routes: the 159, 160, 170, 173, 174, and 188 are all a few minutes’ walk away from McAllister Avenue. Bike Valet will also be there, so you can ride and park your bike with ease. Just like a coat check, there will be someone there to secure your bike, and you’ll get a slip for when you’re ready to ride back.
