Bikes are already banned on Skytrain at peak hours because it's crazy and almost impossible to try and fit a bike into a jampacked Skytrain car, so I'm not sure who all these multimodal commuters are who are going to be put out by this. I've never heard cyclists complaining about this peak-hour restriction, presumably because none of them want the hassle of taking their bike on a rush-hour skytrain; sensibly they would prefer to just ride it.

If Translink are right in their expectation of big increases in Skytrain ridership during the Olympics - in effect making all hours peak hours - then you have to concede that trying to squeeze your bike on there is just going to make life (more) difficult, if not for you then for all the stressed out people straphanging on the Skytrain.

As far as I can see, the only people who aren't going to struggle a bit with commuting are those who cycle to work (depends on your route I guess). Instead of finding things to ***** about, cyclists should be looking forward to the Olympics. Hopefully a few motorists or bus-riders will dig out their bikes for the two weeks and stick with it afterwards.

Vancouver's by no means a utopia like some Vancouverites seem to think, but it is a marvellous place to ride a bike (if you have somewhere safe to leave it).
