Remember: most people on the bus take the bus for cheap transportation. They don't care if it takes a minute to put your bike on, they're used to it.

My hero

A hero😂

[@MSUBikes]

Great video! Thanks for doing this! Theft of bikes off these racks while you're riding and perhaps surfing the web on your phone is quite a problem, so best to pay attention when the bus is stopped to not become a victim! Forgetting your bike is also a pretty common problem; the bus agencies end up with quite a few abandoned bikes every year.

[@kyliejuvelin2125]

Abtina

[@AndrewAce.]

I wonder where they end up...

[@diego6ix5ive0]

I tried putting my bike on the holder but I couldn’t so the driver had to help me 😂 embarrassing but funny

[@sinanuluc5143]

This is what's gonna happen to me tomorrow! Yay! Not looking forward to it at all haha! :D

[@metalheadkyra]

Same. In the middle of our lovely pandemic 🤣

[@hippiepunktristan7796]

Literally same wit me my bike was flat and ad no idea how to use it but didn’t want to walk home with a flat. She had to get off and help me, luckily there wasn’t very many people on the bus😂

[@lenereed2510]

That's what is going to happen to me because i need to go somewhere lol.

[@nostalgicastronomy8443]

Been there😂

[@sm_mar_vin]

i’ve never done this and always anxious cuz of other passengers waiting for the bus

[@amaterasugokamekkyaku579]

bro thats trippy I got no balls to do this lol

[@andrewmachleid2734]

Once you have this Down it takes seconds. We have these in king county and (other than my first 2 times) I have never held up the bus while using these. I’m usually not the last one on, and if you get out first you can take the bike off the rack before the last person gets in. And its so convenient to be able to bike to the bus stop (which is the fastest way to get around within a city) and take the bus on the highway and then ride the bike the rest of the way. It’s just as (sometimes) faster than a car. If your in king county and bellow the age of 19 you can ride for free. Consider it.

[@jordanbaird3035]

So thankful this is here, helped a ton!

[@SilentSTORM44]

I feel like it’s simpler than I’m letting myself believe lol, but this was extremely helpful ty!

[@vanislemtb3572]

Same here, only took me 1 minute

[@amaterasugokamekkyaku579]

dude im afraid to do this.. Im afraid my bike its gonna fall and get under the bus and fuck my entire life up lmao!!

[@amaterasugokamekkyaku579]

@JD_88 😆

[@ahmed38707]

Watch the video 2 minutes before my first time. Thank you very very much

[@cheungkaki]

How about a small wheel Dahon? Is it secure to lock the wheel ?

[@phatmeow7764]

man i wished my city had buses that have bike racks for full sized bike like this!

[@felicitywinnie6732]

Omg thank you :)

[@abtns5]

My bike is not as light as the one on the vid

[@orionharmon6017]

That's a interesting bike rack on a bus right there.

[@JacksonWestfall]

Keep an eye on that bike... Watched someone jack a bike off the rack at a stop once. Bus driver had to keep his route of course so he just kept on going.

[@85amitray]

How many such bikes can it hold

[@robopiper9462]

2 I think

[@miagifodder5599]

now i need to find a bus with this rack

[@georgedervishi4291]

during a pandemic will the bus driver help me?

[@angelfelixgallardomiguel]

Great

[@MellowJelly]

Everyone w social anxiety is here like 👁️👄👁️

[@iwantsomeofyourlove]

You forgot the part where you put maple syrup on the tires so it can stay in the bike rack without falling off

[@julianajanot4280]

This is so nice, but is this safe? Aren't people gonna rob your bike when the bus stops or in traffic?

[@itsmedavidd]

They could but not likely.

[@julianajanot4280]

@@itsmedavidd people don't actually steal things in UBC, do they? people are polite in Canada hahaha I hope so
