Good news: buses, ferries, trains and flights can carry you and your bike from Thetis Island to Chilliwack.

For scale
As the crow flies127 km
Biking whole way183 km Β· 10 h 20 m

πŸŽ’ Riding a coach? Most BC coach operators want your bike bagged or boxed. Our field note walks through packing it, including an inexpensive packable bike bag we like: How to bike-and-bus in BC ›
Note: Most carriers carry only a handful of bikes, and summer weekends fill up fast. Reserve where you can. Where you can't, go early or have a backup plan.
