CUBS has a great way to keep you and the environment
in shape: Bike & Ride. With a bike rack on every CUBS bus, you can make
bike riding part of your regular commute. Ride part way to work and finish
your trip aboard a bus, or take the bus one way. A regular ride will help
keep you in shape, and save you money on parking, gasoline and car maintenance.
Plus, biking and busing help curb traffic congestion and preserve air quality
around the Longview-Kelso area.
Consider the Bike & Ride option for fun, too. Taking a bus to a park
or bike path can make your trip safer and more fun.
Free and Easy
Loading and unloading bikes on the racks is easy and there is no extra
cost for bringing your bike. The rack, attached to the front of the
bus, holds two bicycles. The racks have simple instructions posted
right on them. Bikes in the rack don't touch each other, the bus,
or other vehicles. Each bike can be loaded or unloaded independently.
You don't need to move one bike to reach the other. The rack holds
most wheel and frame sizes, |
 |
including children's bikes. CUBS welcomes you - and
your bike - whether you want to bike and ride to work, school, or
for recreation.
Loading Your Bike
As the bus approaches, have your bike ready to load. Remove water
bottles, pumps or any loose items that might fall off. Tell the driver
you're loading your bike. For safety reasons, the driver can't get
off the bus to help you, but he or she can tell you how to use the
rack.

| 1.) |
Pull down to release the folded bike rack. |
| 2.) |
Lift your bike onto the rack, fitting wheels
into the slots. Each slot is labeled for front and rear
wheels. Please load your bike in the outside slot first. |
| 3.) |
Raise and release the support arm over
the top of the front tire. Make sure the support arm is
resting on the tire and not on the fender or frame. |
|
Unloading Your Bike
For safety reasons, it is very important to tell the driver
you need to unload your bike when you approach your stop.
| 1.) |
Raise the support arm off the tire. Move
the support arm down, out of your way. |
| 2.) |
Lift your bike out of the rack. |
| 3.) |
Fold up the bike rack if there is no other
bike in the rack. |
