People who bus-and-bike ride free May 14-18

As part of Bike Month, King County Metro is encouraging people to try bike-and-bus trips. During the week of May 14-18, any cyclist loading a bike on a Metro bus will ride free. 

Each bus has three spaces on its bike rack, which are available on a first come/first served basis. If the bus bike rack is full, cyclists should be prepared to wait for the next bus or consider leaving their bike parked in a bike rack at a transit facility. Bike lockers are also available at many Metro and Sound Transit facilities.

This offer is good only on the buses mentioned above. It does not apply to Link light rail, Sounder, the South Lake Union Streetcar, or the King County Water Taxi.

For new cyclists who want to try loading their bike in a pressure-free environment, Metro has display bike racks at five locations around the county, including North Seattle Community College, Detailed information on hours and locations can be found online.
