With our bicycle racks, you can ride and bike to the nearest bus stop. Take your bike with you to ride the Rock Hill BMX Supercross Track, Rock Hill Velodrome, Criterium course, or to ride the trails at one of our parks. Each rack is located at the front of the bus and accommodates up to two bicycles. The racks are convenient, easy to use, and your bike rides free, just like you!
Loading Your Bike
- Have your bike ready as the bus approaches.
- Remember to remove water bottles, bicycle pumps or other items before loading.
- Tell the bus operator you’re going to use the bike rack, then quickly load your bike while other passengers are boarding.
- Riders should approach the bike rack from the curbside. To lower the rack, squeeze the center handle and pull the rack toward you.
- Lift your bicycle onto the rack fitting the wheels into one of the proper wheel slots. Each wheel slot is clearly labeled for the front wheel. If you are putting your bike in the first slot position nearest the bus, the handlebars should face the curb. A bike loaded in the second slot should have the handlebars facing away from the curb.
- Pull the support arm by the yellow handle toward you and place it over the front tire until it secures it in place. Make sure the support arm is resting on the tire, not the fender or frame of the bike. Resting the support arm on your fender or frame could damage your bike, so please be careful.
- Board the bus.
Unloading Your Bike
- When the bus approaches your stop, always tell the driver you will be removing your bike.
- To release your bike, simply pull the support arm away from the wheel, drop it down and lift your bike from the wheel tray.
- If you are the last person to unload your bike, please return the rack to its upright position.
- Step toward the curb with your bike when moving away from the bus.
Rack Rules
- Be prepared before the bus arrives.
- You are responsible for the loading and unloading of your bicycle. For safety reasons, the driver cannot leave the bus to assist you.
- Racks are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If the rack is full, you will need to wait for the next bus. Bikes are not allowed on the inside of buses.
- If you are unable to secure your bike, please do not delay the bus.
- All bikes 16” or larger fit easily and securely on the rack, even children’s bikes. All bikes load in exactly the same way, quickly and easily. No motorized bikes are allowed on the racks.

- My Ride is not responsible for bicycles or personal items lost or damaged while in transit.
