there is a cool hostel on Jericho Beach but its a ways to the shore. Bike storage would be an issue. there also used to be a hostel down on lonsdale a few blocks from the Seabus but im not sure if its still there.

well. i'll have two bikes with me, so storage is something i need to consider heavily. i have a super lock, but i dont know how i would feel having to leave them in my vehicle overnight however if thats what it came to.

A bike locked in your car is a bike you can kiss goodbye

You can probably store your bike at one of the Local bike stores like dizzy or On top, just make sure you bring in a case of beer. packing two bikes will be a pain in the ass, can you live with just one?

you can always drop the heckler at a bike shop for a "tune up" and pick it up on your way back.

Or you could drop the bike off at Rat's and let him try to explain to his wife that he didn't buy ANOTHER bike
