Halleluya!! They added bike racks on bus ride home!!

We've got racks on all our buses now here in Seattle. It is marvellous! Be sure to write your bus company about how excited you are over the racks. They need to hear feedback like that!

I love the racks. They are so easy to use, and even on rough roads and through crazy traffic my bike has always stayed secure. (I've had lil' panic attacks , but the bike has been FINE!)

These are the racks we have: http://www.bicycleracks.com/busrack_video.asp Click "video", and you get to see our buses!

Brisbane City Council trialled those racks on the Great Circle Bus Line (does a big loop of the city). Problem was, nobody who cycled actually used that particular bus route. The BCC declared the trial a failure and the racks have vanished. What a shame Be sure to write to your local councillor to let them know you love the racks!!

Maybe the trial was not long enough? Greater Vancouver area nearly has racks on most of its buses by now..covers the suburbs as well. You can appreciate that not all buses will have a bike every hr. at this point in cycle-commuting history, since the suburbs are slower in embracing in alternative transportation options combined with transit. But there is a noticeable increase of cycle-commuting compared to 5 years ago in our city and more people combining cycling with transit travel when things get difficult or one lacks enough time. Of course, prolonged periods of steady rain is a strong powerful motivator in our part of the world.

Great that Cannebera has more bus bike racks, cyclegoddess!
