Follow-up to that question: During your ride, how do you remember where to go / where to turn?
I'm generally bad with directions and street names so on a scale of 1-10 in getting lost, I would say I'm at a solid 7.

I usually stick to designated bike routes if I'm riding around in the city. They're all marked, and plenty of signage posted.
Other than that, maybe ride with someone who is familiar with the routes in the area that you plan to ride. There's also lots of casual meet-up riding groups you can join, in different areas. Or like everyone said, use your phone GPS.
I've got quite a few foldable pocket maps of the Vancouver bike routes, if you want one, PM me.
