If you walk into The Bike Doctor on Broadway on any given day, there's a good chance you'll run into the shop's owner, Pol Bogaert. And even if you've never met Pol before, if you've been riding your bike in Vancouver for long enough, there's a good chance you'll recognize his face.
Pol has owned and operated bike shops all over Vancouver since he opened his first one in 1991. The Bike Doctor, sporting the same name and an updated logo of the shop he ran two decades ago, is located at 137 West Broadway, in the heart of the city's outdoor gear mecca.
