shipping a bike : air canada ? box , bag or ?
Are you taking one bag or two? Max weight for one bag is 50 lbs unless you pay the $100 extra for second bag. If you check two bags, they ding you, but waive the 50 lb limit … but still a max of 70 lb/bag.

When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called religion.
If checking it specifically as a bike the max weight limit is 70 lbs.
All normal bags have the 50 lbs limit. So if you are stuffing the bike in a hockey bag you need to keep the weight under 50 lbs.
Sometimes if you pack it into a big enough/awkward enough box, depending on what it's classified as, they don't even bother weighing it.
Air Canada:
Waivers
No overweight or oversize charges apply to bicycles, provided they are within the following maximum weight and size limits*:
Maximum weight: 32kg (70lb)
Maximum length: 292cm (115in)
*Air Canada Cargo handles the shipment of bicycles that exceed the maximum weight and/or size limits listed above.
Chances are, if you're near the length limit, they probably won't measure it anyway.
