They have a more challenging topography than Vancouver, and has more separated bike lanes. Surrey and Richmond have good topographies for biking but rank lower:

They aren't separated bike lanes in the same way that they are in Vancouver. They're 3m wide mixed use paths, like the path under the Skytrain. They generally go through parks or green belts as well.
All in all they're more plentiful in Burnaby than in Vancouver because most often they're there in lieu of a sidewalk or another path and there was a bit of room to make them 3m wide.
