Personal Bikes & CapMetro
Bringing your personal bike with you puts more destinations within your reach and helps overcome final-destination challenges. (You could also rent one of our bikes!) The League of American Bicyclists has recognized our efforts and rated CapMetro as a Gold-Level Bike Friendly Business.
Bikes on Buses
Our bikes-on-the-bus rules are very simple:
- If you ride a folded bike, fold it up and bring it with you on the bus. All other bikes go on exterior racks attached to the front of our Local and Rapid buses. Each rack can hold up to 3 bikes with 20" wheels or electric bikes under 55 pounds. When you arrive at your destination, let the operator know you will be removing a bike from the rack.
- Express buses don't have bike racks, but we do have storage space for 2 bikes in the rear storage compartment. Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please ask the bus operator to open the compartment for you.
- Our Trip Planner lets you incorporate MetroBike into your trip, helping you connect to and from your transit stop more easily.
Bikes on Trains
Our goal is to minimize hassle and maximize service. That's why we make room for you and your bike aboard our trains.
Our stations have a designated crossing area that leads to the station platform. For safety reasons, please walk your bike onto the platform. When you hear your train announced, move to the area behind the white boarding line. As a courtesy, wait until all riders have cleared the doorway before getting on. Store your bike in one of our racks near the entrances or remain standing while holding your bike. On a full train, bikes may be limited to a total of 8 per compartment.
