Cycling in Langley

Langley is big and flat in plenty of places, which suits cycling, and both municipalities are adding to the network. Here is where the official maps and plans live, and what each says.

The Township of Langley

The Township’s Cycling and Trails page says it has adopted the Ultimate Cycling Network, set out in its 2015 Cycling Plan. That plan describes a long-term network built in stages over about 50 years, depending on funding, with three kinds of routes: commuter, recreational and community. It names these corridors:

• Commuter: 24, 32, 48, 56 and 64 Avenues, and 200, 208 and 216 Streets.
• Recreational: 96 Avenue and 102B Avenue, among others.
• Already signed and marked at the time of the plan: 200 Street, Fraser Highway, Allard Crescent, 48 Avenue and 96 Avenue.

The plan uses several types of facility, from bike lanes and paved shoulders to shared roads and off-street trails. The Township says the network will be reviewed and renewed through its Transportation and Mobility Strategy, which includes cycling and micromobility as one of six themes. Its page was updated in July 2026 and says the strategy is in its final phase. To report a problem with a cycling route or trail, use the Trails Request on the Township’s Parks, Trails and Trees page.

The City of Langley

The City publishes a Bicycle Routes PDF map on its Maps and Open Data page, with the note that PDF maps are updated periodically. Recent and current City cycling projects it describes:

• Downtown protected lanes (2023 plan): protected lanes on 203 Street, Douglas Crescent and 204 Street, funded by TransLink, linking existing 203 Street lanes to the new Glover Road lanes.
• Fraser Highway: a more protected multi-use path between the Langley Bypass and Old Yale Road, with work scheduled December 2025 to May 2026.
• Langley Bypass: from 56 Avenue to Fraser Highway, existing bike lanes are being replaced by a widened multi-use path separated from traffic, scheduled spring to December 2026. It would connect the 208 Street corridor south of Fraser Highway to 56 Avenue.

The City also describes the Rotary Floodplain Trail, a multi-use path across the city that connects to Surrey, with access off 53 Avenue, 203 Street and 208 Street.

Paths away from the roads

The Metro Vancouver brochure for Derby Reach describes the Fort to Fort Trail as open to walkers and cyclists, with cyclists yielding to pedestrians. The full 12 km round trip from Fort Langley takes about four hours on foot. The Edge Trail beside it is walkers only. See our hikes and walks guide and Derby Reach. The Province’s Highway 1 widening project lists the new Glover Road crossing, opened in spring 2024, as having 3 m multi-use paths.

Bikes and transit

TransLink’s regional cycling maps include a Langley area map showing transit hubs, bike locker locations, steeper hills and the comfort level of each route. For parking, TransLink lists:

• Free outdoor bike racks at all SkyTrain and West Coast Express stations and most bus exchanges.
• Bike lockers at Langley Centre, rented at $10 per month (plus GST and a refundable deposit), with on-demand lockers at Carvolth Exchange through the Bikeep app.

See transit in Langley for the exchanges.

The rules

The BC Motor Vehicle Act requires anyone riding or riding as a passenger on a cycle on a highway to wear an approved helmet, and parents or guardians must not allow a person under 16 to ride without one. After dark, a bike needs a white front light, a red rear light and a red reflector. Local bylaws can add rules, so check with the Township or City.
