Getting to whistler from vancouver airport...

[ajay]

Last minute, need to get from the airport to whistler - with bike, luggage etc. The one company that seems to do it won't accept anything heavier than 22kg - my bike and bag are well over that limit. Any ideas?

i just booked with these guys: https://www.ridebooker.com/transfers/yvr/whistler/whistler-shuttle

Its a bit pricier, because the are just a booking service, but they are happy to take bikes.

I did it on the Skyrail and then Greyhound. but then, I had 1 large backpack and the bike in an EVOC, so was pretty easy to move around.

Get skyrail into van. Buy shitter off craigslist, like this amazing Toyota Sienna van http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/5703966843.html

Sell on your way home. Win.

Jump on pink bike and key up a local that could use some cash...

Is the 22kg limit per item, or total items? If per item, pack more bags.

Per item, 2 max. My bike bag is the clincher, I ride a boat anchor so it's in no way going to be within those limits. Likely the driver the wouldn't care, but I didn't want to risk being stranded. Anyway, I've sorted it out

Finding yourself stranded is a shit way to start a holiday. While i cant imagine the driver busting the scales out, a wise move is to avoid the issue.

I could think of worse things to be stranded and straddled with though.
