Your bike will be secure and sheltered from the snow and rain and you’ll no longer have to load your bike on and off the bus.

• Bring your own lock. U-locks strongly recommended.
• Do not leave a bike in a shelter for more than 30 days.
• Shelters are for the storage of operable bikes and bicycle accessories only.
