Rack & Roll practice bike rack is on the move!

Have you checked out our Rack & Roll practice bike rack? The practice bike rack moves to different locations around the city so that everyone can try it out.

The practice rack is currently in the lobby of Tom Brown Arena.

We know the process of learning how to load and unload a bike on a bus can be intimidating for some customers. This practice bike rack helps take the stress out of it. The bike rack lets you practice putting your bicycle on and off the bike rack at your own convenience. It is equipped with the same bike rack as those on OC Transpo buses, and there are clear how-to directions posted alongside it.

Check out this simple video that walks you through how to load and unload your bike in three easy steps.

This initiative is a direct result of a customer’s suggestion. Let us know what you think about the Rack & Roll winter pilot by filling out an OC Transpo customer feedback form. We want to hear from you!

About the Rack & Roll program

All OC Transpo buses are equipped with a bike rack as part of the Rack & Roll Program. Customers can bring their bicycles onboard O-Train Line 1 year-round. Please use the first car of the train.

The Rack & Roll program combines biking and transit with ease. OC Transpo has many bicycle-friendly initiatives to promote cycling, including bicycle parking, Bikesecure shelters and bicycle repair stations at numerous transit stations throughout the system.
