Your city buses with bike racks?

[Grog]

Good to know all this. Any more locations?
There is something that North America DOES do better in terms of cycling infrastructure: that's bike racks on local buses.

Seriously. We were in some cycling-intensive European cities and there were hardly any or none. But then some of the cities use streetcars more heavily than buses. Still buses are used in their areas out in the 'burbs for some cities.

I do like the bike racks on buses quite a bit as a concept... but as another poster mentioned, I never expect that I will be able to put my bike on one of them.

Just a wild guess, but I'd say that the distances are usually shorter in Europe (because of increased density), thus bi-modal commuting is much less of a necessity or of a demand made by commuters. Also, in a lot of cities where lanes are extremely narrow, I think it would be quite a bit more challenging to drive buses with a rack on!
