Front bike rack on buses, heavy bikes
Thinking about doing rides farther away without carting the bike there
in my car. Or riding out farther and using a bus for some of the way back. Buses out here have racks for two bikes up front, like this: http://www.sacbike.dreamhosters.com/...us_No_2395.jpg Unfortunately the top-holding bar goes over the front wheel where the emergency dynamo is on my road bike instead of over the seat. Ok, I can remove that dynamo. However, both my road bike and my MTB are "rear-heavy" with panniers that contain lots of water, tools and such. Are they still safe in those racks? The other question is, El Dorado Transit and others state to "remove panniers and other baggage to allow safe operation of the bus". My panniers look detachable but they are not, there is a lot of stuff underneath that bolts and cinches them in place. What's your experience? -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
