Every CityGo fixed route bus is equipped with a front rack that holds two bicycles. Instructions for use are printed on the bike rack. The bus bike racks are available on a first come, first served basis. No bikes allowed inside the bus.
It is your responsibility to load and unload your bicycle. The Bus Operator cannot assist you. Bikes may be loaded or unloaded at any bus stop. Upon return to OCCK Transportation, bicycles left on board will be turned over to the Salina Police Department within the hour.
Bike racks hold most two-wheeled bicycles with 16-inch or larger diameter wheels. Bikes with child carriers or no-spoke wheels cannot be put on the rack, and some bikes with wide handlebars or long wheelbases won’t fit. No fuel powered vehicles (such as scooters or gas-powered bicycles) are allowed on vehicles. OCCK, Inc. assumes no liability for damages incurred to bicycles, personal property or persons while using the bike racks. Cyclists assume all responsibility for properly loading, securing and unloading their bicycle, and any and all damage and/or injury resulting from the utilization of the bike racks.
Loading a Bicycle
- Make ready your bike for loading by removing any loose items that may fall off, such as water bottles or tire pumps.
- Make sure that the bus driver is aware that you are loading your bike. Load from the curb or in front of the bus; never step into oncoming traffic to load your bike.
- To lower the Byk-Rak from the stowed position, pull the handle with one hand and lower the carrier until you feel it lock. Use your other hand to steady your bicycle.
- Next, lift your bike and set it into Byk-Rak. Tire slot is clearly labeled FRONT WHEEL. The bike can be loaded and secured backwards, but the label is attached to make it easier to unload the inside bike.
- Swing the wheel lock around (from under the Byk-Rak) and on top of the front wheel.
- You may now board the bus.
Unloading a Bicycle
- As the bus approaches your stop, notify the bus driver that you will be unloading your bike. Unload from the curb or in front of the bus; never step into oncoming traffic to unload your bike.
- Swing the wheel lock around to under the front tire.
- You may now lift your bike out of the Byk-Rak.
- If the Byk-Rak is empty and no one is waiting to load their bike, lift the Byk-Rak up until it locks into the stowed position.
CAUTION: Loading or unloading your bike from street side may cause death or serious injury.
