Loading Bikes onto the Bus

1) Be ready to load your bike as the bus approaches. Remove water bottles, pumps, or any loose items that might fall off.

2) Make sure you have the attention of the bus driver before you step in front of the bus to load your bicycle.

3) To lower the rack, squeeze the chrome handle and slowly lower the folded bike rack. Please do not drop the rack when lowering it.

4) Lift your bike onto the rack, fitting the wheels into the slots. Each slot is labeled for the front and rear wheels. All bicycles load exactly the same way.

5) Raise and release the wheel lock arm from its magnetized base. Place it over the top of the front tire. A spring pulls the arm back, holding the bike securely. Make sure the arm is resting on the tire and not the frame.
