Transport guide for cyclists in British Columbia

Transportation connections can make or break a cycle tourism trip in British Columbia. Ferries, buses, trains, shuttles, car rental, water taxis, and flights can help riders reach a route, return from a one-way trip, bypass a difficult section, connect communities, or build a lower-car itinerary.

This guide highlights transportation services that may be useful to cyclists travelling in British Columbia. The most important details are often specific: whether bikes are accepted, whether they need to be boxed or bagged, whether there are fees, how much capacity is available, whether advance booking is required, and what happens if space runs out.

Use this page to understand how transportation listings fit into the We Welcome Cyclists directory, then open the interactive directory to search for services that connect with your ride.
