Ride Like The Wind...

Bikes on the bus?
The bus only has room for two bikes on the rack in the front.
Some of the big buses (the large airline seat tour buses) have compartments underneath where you can fit more.

But the majority of the city buses only have room for those two bikes on the rack.

Never fear, your friendly Drivers are here!

If it is safe and there is room, we allow Passngers to board with their bikes on the back of the bus.
The back has more room than the front.
Bikes can be kept out of the path to the front door and lift.

I had an accordian bus packed and still had room for a group of four bikers who all sat on the side seats in the back.
They all locked their front tires to the hand rail near the ceiling then sat in their seats and held the bottoms of their bikes from banging into other passengers.
It was a wall of bikes with their riders safely and comfortably behind the wall in their seats.

I was really impressed!

If you load your bike into the back of the bus, you're just asked to be safe and considerate.
Please remember that other passengers are counting on you to keep your bike from getting their clothing greasey, dirty or damaged.

All that said, do remember that if the rack is full and there is room in the back, you're more than welcome to load the bike in the back of the bus.

As Always, "Welcome aboard, find your seats, hang onto your bikes - Let's Roll!"
