Bring your bike along! All of NCTD’s transit vehicles can accommodate bikes. Here’s what you need to know to plan your transit biking trip:

Mainstream bicycles are all welcome! Tandem, gas-powered or recumbent bikes are NOT allowed on bus racks or inside trains.

COASTER

  • There are bike areas on each COASTER train car.
  • Enter the train car through doors marked with a bicycle emblem and store your bike in one of the spaces provided in the lower level of each train.
  • Secure your bike's front and back wheels using the black Velcro straps.
  • Bikes must not exceed six feet in horizontal length, must not have any protrusions and must not block seats, aisles, doorways or exits.
  • During your travel, stay with your bike to ensure it does not tip over.
  • Unsecured bicycles are subject to removal from the train.

SPRINTER & BREEZE

Every BREEZE bus has a bike rack capable of handling two bikes. Bikes are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tell the bus driver that you are loading or unloading a bike before you approach the bike rack. BREEZE bike racks are designed to accommodate standard bike tires (max 26” or 700 cm). Bikes with protrusions, such as long handlebars, that extend up into the bus windshield are not be allowed.
