❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take my bike on the SkyTrain to get partway?

Yes! Bikes are allowed on SkyTrain during off-peak hours (Mon–Fri before 6:30 AM and after 9 AM, and 3:30 PM–4 PM gap, all day weekends). On match days, SkyTrain gets very crowded — we recommend cycling the full route rather than combining with transit.

Is it safe to cycle at night after the game?

Yes — downtown Vancouver and the Seawall are well-lit and safe at night. Just ensure you have functioning lights (legally required). The Seawall route back is actually beautiful at night with the city reflections on False Creek.

What happens if I keep the Mobi bike longer than 30 min?

Overage charges apply: $3 per additional 30 minutes. To avoid this on a Day Pass, simply dock the bike at any station and immediately re-check it out. The system resets your 30-minute timer. This lets you take unlimited free rides all day.

Can I cycle with a beer before the game — Canadian law?

No. BC's Motor Vehicle Act applies to cyclists. Cycling under the influence carries the same fines as driving under the influence. Fine up to ~$500 for blood alcohol over .05. Enjoy your beer at the pub, then ride home after the celebration — not during.

Is it worth bringing my own bike from home (on a flight)?

For most international fans, it's not worth the airline fee ($30–$150 each way) and logistical headache. Mobi or e-bike rentals are much easier. If you're driving from elsewhere in BC or Washington State, bringing your own bike is absolutely worth it — bring a good U-lock.
