When the two tried to stop the man, he ditched the bicycle and tried to flee on foot.
A foot chase commenced, which police won, and the man was taken into custody.
Police previously, incorrectly, said the incident happened near West Hastings Street.
A search of the suspect discovered a loaded gun, and $60,000 worth of drugs including suspected fentanyl, meth and crack cocaine.
Vancouver police also said the $12,000 e-bike that the man was riding is also deemed stolen.
The 35-year-old man was taken to jail and remains in custody, according to police.
