All KAT buses are equipped with a bike rack on the front.  They are safe, sturdy, and easy to use.

HERE'S HOW...

1. Simply grab the bar on the front of the bike rack and pull down to unfold it.
2.  Lift bike onto the rack, fitting the tires where indicated with marks for front wheels.  Use inside slot first.
3.  Pull support arm out and up over the front tire to secure it in place.  Use your bicycle lock now to secure your bike to the rack.

Unloading the Bicycle

1.  Before you get off the bus, tell the driver you want to unload your bike.

2.  Pull the support arm out and down over the tire to release it from the rack.  If you've locked your bicycle to the rack, be sure to unlock it now.3. Lift your bike out of the rack and onto the curb.  If the rack is empty, fold up the rack to the locked position.  Stand clear of the bus.

4.  Signal to the driver when finished.
