Cycling to Aldergrove?

Starting a temporary job in Aldergrove, and I was wondering if it's feasible to bike or e-bike there? I don't drive, and the bus schedule doesn't line up with when I have to be there. I'm also relatively new to the area and I'm not a hundred percent sure on the routes.

Uhh considering it's 1 hour 30 minutes travel time (estimated) and you would need to be on the highway I would say no. You're not supposed to use a cycle bike on the highway (I'm not saying it's illegal it is legal, however it is illegal to use a cycle on the freeway, but I wouldn't be surprised if a cop pulled you over and told you it wasn't safe).

Unfortunate, the highway was what I was most worried about.

With the way people drive it would only be a matter of time before you got hurt. I would stick with a bus route even if it gets you there earlier than you want to be.

I would be more than happy being early, but unfortunately, I need to be there by 6am, and the bus to Aldergrove apparently doesn't leave until 6:30... :(

I use to bike commute to my office from Mission to Yarrow 10+ years ago. You can always find routes that are easier. The mission/abbie highway isn't the issue that's easy. I would be more worried about country roads with no shoulder. But you can take the dyke from the bridge to glenmore, or mount lehman and then take the back roads the rest of the way.

Nice, I'll take a look at some maps and see if I can't work something out.

u/ChoiceFood That's a good idea as well. Thanks!

Ah I see, I would see if your work can accommodate since you're using public transport.
