How is this word pronounce for speakers with Canadian rising? Is it [baIsIk5=] or [bVIsIk5=]?

I have Canadian Raising (I'm from Massachusetts), and I pronounce it ["b6IsIk5=], with the raised vowel.

I myself am from Wisconsin and have Canadian Raising, and I have ["b@IskIkM:] for "bicycle".

["b@IskIkM:] for "bicycle".

You really have [sk] there?
