BikeLink

All Link buses are equipped with bike racks. In town routes (cutaways and 30-foot buses) can carry 2 bikes, and all 35-foot buses and 40-foot buses operating intercity routes ( 21 and 22) can carry 3 bikes on each bus.

Where to Load Your Bike

You may load and unload your bike at any bus stop.

Important Reminder 

When retrieving your bike, please exit the front door (on two-door buses) and inform the driver.

Additional Reminders

  • Battery-powered e-bikes are accepted as long as the bike and its attachments do not exceed the weight limit of 50 pounds per rack slot. If your battery is removable, you can carry it onto the bus to reduce the bike’s weight.
  • Remember – safety always comes first. Never step into traffic on the street side of the bus.
  • Have your bike ready to go as the bus approaches.
  • Remove water bottles, pumps or other items that might fall off your bike during a trip.
  • Our bicycle must be no larger than 80 inches long or 48 inches high. No GAS-POWERED bikes allowed.
  • Bikes with child carriers or other bulky attachments cannot be accommodated because of limited space.
  • 30- and 35-foot buses (Wenatchee and East Wenatchee routes) can accommodate two bicycles on a rack.  All 40-foot buses can carry three bikes. These are on Routes 21, 22 and 122. However, occasionally a 30-foot bus is used on these routes so only two bikes can be carried on these trips. Space is always on a first-come basis.
  • Riders are also responsible for loading and unloading their own bikes.
  • Link Transit is not responsible for any damages incurred to or caused by bicycles on transit system property and is not liable for any damage to bicycles that are not loaded properly.

Bikes will be allowed on-board buses operating on Routes 21, 22 and 122 if: 

  • The bike rack on the front of the bus is full
  • There is a low number of guests on board the bus
  • The bicycle owner is capable of holding onto the bicycle
  • There is still room to accommodate the bicycle and other guests using ADA mobility devices

Bikes will not be allowed on-board the bus if: 

  • The bike rack on the front of the bus is not full
  • There is a high number of guests already on the bus
  • The bicycle interferes with a guest using an ADA mobility device ability to ride
  • Guest is not capable of holding onto the bicycle

If a guest using an ADA mobility device boards the bus, and the only space available to them is occupied by a bicycle, the guest with the bicycle may be asked to de board the bus.

Because bicycles sometimes interfere with the visibility of headlights, there may be instances when the driver requests the guest to bring their bike on-board the bus even if the bike rack is not full. This is up to the discretion of the individual driver.
