The last time I was there (about 1 year ago), I noticed them when I was going up on Hornby. While I see more cyclists in Vancouver and bike use as transportation, in general, once you get outside of the downtown core or the most popular cycling routes (e.g. the ones from downtown to North Van via Lion Gate), I didn't notice any huge difference between US and Canada in infrastructure for or car driver's attitude towards cyclists. Toronto is probably much closer than a US city than Vancouver.
