Have you checked out our Rack & Roll practice bike racks?
We now have two practice racks moving to different locations around the city so that everyone can try them out.
✨New: Find our two practice racks right now outside Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre at Britannia Beach and at Lansdowne Park across from the Horticulture Building.

Practice rack located outside the Lakeside Centre at Britannia Beach.

Practice rack located across from the Horticulture Building.
We know the process of learning how to load and unload a bike on a bus can be intimidating for some customers. Our practice bike racks help take the stress out of it — giving you a low-pressure way to get comfortable at your own pace before doing it on an actual bus.
Each practice rack lets you practice putting your bicycle on and off at your own convenience. They are equipped with the same bike rack model as those on OC Transpo buses, and there are clear step-by-step written and visual instructions posted alongside them.
Keep an eye out for our outreach team's van — it's outfitted with a Rack & Roll practice rack and pops up at events across the city!
Check out this simple video that walks you through how to load and unload your bike in three easy steps.

About the Rack & Roll program
All OC Transpo buses are equipped with a bike rack as part of the Rack & Roll Program. Customers can bring their bicycles onboard O-Train Lines 1, 2, and 4 year round.
The Rack & Roll program combines biking and transit with ease. OC Transpo has many bicycle-friendly initiatives to promote cycling, including bicycle parking, Bikesecure shelters and bicycle repair stations at numerous transit stations throughout the system.
For more information about the Rack & Roll program, check out the Bikes on our network page.
