Bike Loading

How to Use Bus Bike Racks

Loading your bicycle is easy!

  • Before loading your bicycle, please remove any loose items and tell the driver you wish to use the bike rack. As a safety precaution, please wait to load your bicycle until receiving permission from the driver.
  • If there are no bicycles already on the rack, lower the rack by squeezing the release handle at the top center of the rack.
  • Look for markings indicating the position of the front wheel of the bicycle. Always load from the curb side of the bus by placing a single bicycle or the first of two bicycles in the position closer to the bus. The first bicycle faces the curb and the second bicycle faces the street.
  • Once the wheels of the bicycle are in the wheel wells, pull the "j-hook" (support arm) up over the front bicycle tire. Your bicycle is now securely loaded and you may board the bus.
