BICYCLING FACT: Using your bicycle for part or all of your commute is a great idea. It’s healthy for you and for the environment. It is economical as well.
- Ride-On buses have installed bike racks on the front of most of their buses!
- Did you know that Metro has a Bike-on-Rail program! It’s all true.
Bicycles on RIDE ON buses…
Bike racks can be found on all buses in the Ride-On fleet. The racks hold two bikes and they accommodate most wheel and frame sizes, even children’s bikes. They cannot carry motorized bikes. It is easy to mount a bike on the rack. Just follow the instructions that are displayed right on the rack.
Bicycles on METRO trains…
It is simple to take your bike on the Metrorail system. Bicycles are permitted on Metrorail (limited to two bicycles per car) weekdays except 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. On weekends and most holidays, bikes are allowed on the trains all day (limited to four bicycles per car). Folding bicycles that are folded are permitted inside railcars at all times. During peak periods, folding bicycles must remain folded and securely fastened while traveling through the system.
Bicycles on METRO buses…
Cyclists can transport their bikes free aboard Metrobus in quality, heavy-duty racks attached to the front of each bus. Up to two bicycles can be stored in each rack, which cyclists can easily load and unload themselves by following the simple instructions affixed to the racks. The racks also have a locking mechanism to prevent bicycles from coming loose.
