It looks like our family might be headed up north for a couple days in Vancouver this summer. We have twin 6 year olds and if possible we'd like to spend a few days biking around the city. I thought I would inquire here to see if there are any bike shops or rental outlets who lend out cargo bikes. Ideally I'd like a bakfiets (front loader) like an Urban Arrow or R&M Load but a long tail would work as well.
Also if you have any suggestions for bike-able attractions or things to check out with kids please let me know.

Thanks!
 
I'm not sure about rental shops, they tend to rent to more of the seawall tourist. You might have luck with Reckless, Velolifestyle, Cloud Ebikes, or Cit-E-Cycles, who sell lots of cargo bikes and so might be more likely.

That said, BCAA has a bike share program under their Evo umbrella. I'm not totally sure how they work since I haven't used the bike share, but it looks like it's all through the app. It's cheap to join (~$2 when I signed up a decade ago), and uses a per minute billing system. They recently added cargo bikes to the North Shore. There's details here. Maybe not as nice for multi-day use, but it's easy to get to the North Shore by transit (on a fun for the kids passenger ferry) and then it's a short bus or hike up the hill to the library.
