Shuttle Bike Racks

PresidiGo Shuttles feature bicycle racks. The following provides general guidance for loading and unloading your bicycle to these racks.

Loading a Bicycle

  • A sketch illustrating how the Shuttle bicycle racks operate.When the shuttle approaches, stay on the sidewalk with your bicycle back from the curb. Be sure that you have removed any items (such as bags, bottles, or pumps) that may fall off or interfere with another bike.
  • First allow disembarking cyclists to remove their bikes.
  • Signal to the driver that you want to load your bike. Make sure the driver sees you before stepping in front of the shuttle.
  • Load from the curb side of the shuttle; do not step into traffic.
  • Squeeze and pull up on the bike rack handle to release the folded rack. Lower the rack until it clicks into place.
  • If there is no other bicycle on the rack, use the inside slot with your front wheel facing the curb if possible.
  • Lift your bicycle onto the rack, fitting the wheels into the slots labeled “front” and “rear.” Two bicycles will face in opposite directions on the rack.
  • Pull out and raise the support arm over the top of the front tire, positioning it as high up on the tire as possible. Do not lock your bicycle to the rack.
  • Shake bicycle frame to make sure it is secure.
  • Board the shuttle and sit near the front so you can keep an eye on your bicycle.

  • Tell the driver you will be unloading your bicycle and exit through the front door.
