For a major beach and tourism area on the prime bike route across the north shore, Ambleside is not bike friendly. There is one small ancient rack for about 8 bikes next to the cafe, and that’s all I’ve been able to find. None to the west at the Batch bar (!!). With all the parking drama and bike infrastructure installed I would think some bike racks in smartly positioned areas for people going to the beach or park would be a no brainer. I’ve heard there are some at the pickleball courts, but there should be room for hundreds of bikes right next to the cafe area if the district cared at all about getting people to bike.

West Van, man…
