Have you shied away from biking to work because your commute seems too long or a little too hilly?\u00a0 Consider a bike-and-bus trip!\u00a0 You can bus to work and bike home, or you can bus through a difficult segment and bike the rest.\u00a0 Our friends at King County Metro and Sound Transit are offering a great promotional deal (as in FREE) on bike-and-bus trips during the week of May 14-18 in King County.\u00a0 Here’s their announcement:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
King County Metro and Sound Transit encourage people to try bike-and-bus trips during Bike Month. During the week of May 14-18, any cyclist loading a bike on a Metro bus or ST Express bus operated in King County will ride free. ST Express routes included are: 540, 542, 545, 550, 554, 555, 556 and 560.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Each bus has three spaces on its bike rack, which are available on a first come\/first served basis. If the bus bike rack is full, cyclists should be prepared to wait for the next bus or consider leaving their bike parked in a bike rack at a transit facility. Bike lockers are also available at many Metro and Sound Transit facilities.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Metro has display bike racks available at five locations around the county for new cyclists who want to try loading their bike in a pressure-free environment. Practice racks are available at North Seattle Community College, the University of Washington, Bellevue College, Alki Bike and Board in West Seattle and at the offices of Washington Bikes in Pioneer Square. Detailed information on hours and locations can be found at http:\/\/metro.kingcounty.gov\/tops\/bike\/rackfaq.html<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
