GDMBR - cheap bike-friendly shuttle to Banff starts May 18

[dh024]

For those GD riders looking for cheap ($10 CAD) transportation between Calgary and Banff, On-It Regional Transit has scheduled a commuter service between Calgary and Banff again this year, including bike-friendly trips on select days/times.

The only catch is that they pickup in Calgary at either a downtown location or a transit station in the northwest part of the city, and neither are particularly easy to reach from the Calgary International Airport by bike - so it might cost a $50 cab ride or some creative route-finding on a bike within the city.

And here is one example of a relatively easy route from the airport to the downtown bus stop, which follows mostly pathways and bike-friendly streets (a bit of sidewalk riding is required at the beginning of the route to get out of the airport-industrial district - although this is technically not legal, it is unlikely that anyone would mind here).
