Rack & Roll practice bike rack is on the move!

Have you checked out our new Rack & Roll practice bike rack? It was first introduced at Hurdman Station last fall. Each month, the practice bike rack moves to a new location. This makes it easier for cyclists to try it out in their own area. Keep checking back to find out where you can try out the practice bike rack each month.

The practice rack is located at Tunney's Pasture Station on Scott Street to the right of the entrance.

We know the process of learning how to load and unload a bike on a bus can be intimidating for some customers. This practice bike rack helps take the stress out of it. The bike rack lets you practice putting your bicycle on and off the bike rack at your own convenience. It is equipped with the same bike rack as those on OC Transpo buses, and there are clear how-to directions posted alongside it.

Check out this simple video that walks you through how to load and unload your bike in three easy steps.

This brand-new initiative is a direct result of a customer’s suggestion. Let us know what you think about the Rack & Roll winter pilot by filling out an OC Transpo customer feedback form – we want to hear from you!

About the Rack & Roll program

Every year, from spring to fall, 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 Line 1 year-round. Please use the first car of the train.

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.
