We're pedalling up to Vancouver and then staying there, then going to 
Victoria, then going back on the Clipper.

Uh...Sunday.

Interesting. I have even taken a bike on the Skytrain in my past. Ryan 
Cousineau was kind enough to loan me one of his two years ago, and I rode 
the Skytrain out to meet him, then took it back to where I was staying. I 
then crashed his bike a few days later. While apparently his bike came out 
of that OK, the scars still twitch on my knee from time to time.
