Loading and Unloading Your Bike

1. Prepare your bike for loading. Remove water bottles, pumps and other loose items that could fall off while the bus is in motion.
2. Inform the bus driver that you will be loading your bike. You must load your bike from the curb or in front of the bus. Do not step into oncoming traffic to load your bike.*
3. Squeeze handle up to release latch, then fold down the bike rack. You only need to use one hand to unlatch and pull the bike rack down, so you can hold your bike with your other hand. It is not necessary to lean your bike against the bus.
4. Lift your bike onto the bike rack, fitting wheels into proper wheel slots. Always load your bike into the rack closest to the bus. Each wheel slot is clearly labeled for the front wheel.
5. Raise the Support Arm over the front tire so that the hook rests at the highest point on the front wheel.
6. Board the bus and enjoy the ride! Choose a seat near the front of the bus to keep an eye on your bike. DON'T FORGET you have a bike with you when you get off at your stop. New riders often do!

Unloading Bikes

1. Inform the bus driver that you will be unloading your bike as you approach your stop. Use the front door to exit the bus. Unload your bike from in front of the bus or from the curb, not from the street.*
2. Raise the Support Arm off the tire. The Support Arm automatically folds down to a secure position.
3. Lift your bike out of the bike rack.
4. If there are no other bikes in the rack, fold the bicycle rack up to the folded and locked position.
5. Step away from the bus towards the curb with your bike.*

*Please note that loading or unloading a bicycle from the street side may cause injury or death.
