Bicycles & Transit

Combining a bike ride with transit can expand your biking horizons. It can also give those tired muscles a rest!

  • You can load your bike onto the front rack of a Metro Transit bus, or you can bring it onto a Hiawatha Light Rail train or a Northstar Commuter Rail train.
  • You can also leave your bike at a transit stop. Some major transit stops have bicycle lockers and racks. You can always lock your bike to a signpost if no bicycle racks are available, and pick it up on your way home.
  • You can now bike on Nicollet Mall 24 hours a day. Marquette and 2nd Avenue bus lanes are open to bikes during all but peak bus hours (Monday-Friday, 6 to 9 am and 3 to 7 pm).
