Un peu d'histoire
False Creek was originally a tidal inlet used by Indigenous peoples and later became an industrial hub for sawmills and shipyards. In the 1970s, it was redeveloped into a mixed-use community with parks and housing, and the Seawall was extended. Epic Rides started as a small bike rental shop, capitalizing on the area's growing popularity for cycling.
