City gets into bike biz

Vernon Tourism is getting into the bicycle rental business – but not everyone on Vernon council is happy about it.

Starting June 12, tourists will be able to rent bikes from the tourist information centre on 39th Avenue. 

The city is taking 15 per cent of the revenue in lieu of rent for the additional space being used for the pilot project. 

“I don’t think the city should be giving a competitive advantage for this when we have existing bike shops that may want to do this,” said Coun. Scott Anderson.

"If it gets more people out and into the downtown, it will ultimately be a good thing," said Coun. Brian Quiring.
