when I head into the downtown area I mostly stick to the MUP thats follows the skytrain. The only times I switch up following it the whole way is when I'm hauling my trailer, or just lots of weight on the bike. One section is on road and is really narrow for two way traffic. Funny how roads that seem to rough for cars turn into bike routes This section of the road has lots of ups and downs, with ped lights right at the bottoms in couple locations.

For these areas I switch up to a main road. Improvise a bike lane from a semi used parking lane.
