Bringing your bike
Everything you need to know about riding your bike and connecting with Sound Transit.

How to bring your bike on ST Express

Each ST Express buses holds two or three bicycles on the front of the bus. Remove panniers/bike bags prior to loading. Bicycles must weigh under 65 pounds. Be sure to make eye contact and alert the driver before loading your bicycle. Always load your bicycle on the rack in the slot farthest from the driver. Never step into traffic to load or unload your bicycle. Leave by the front door and inform the driver that you're removing your bicycle.
