The Trials and Tribulations of a Detroit Bicyclist

[Be Kay]

May I bring my bicycle on the bus?
Bikes are not allowed on the inside of the bus. DDOT is conducting a "Bikes on Buses" trial program on our Russell [[#40) route. Currently bike racks are available on the Russell route only. In 2009, DDOT will begin a program to equip all buses with bike racks.

For those who have read the last few entries of my blog, I have been discussing when these bike racks will be equipped.


Recently, there has been a slow crawl in getting this done.


Today there is a Customer meeting at DDOT headquarters on E Warren. I'm going there to make sure that my concerns are addressed.

Thanks a ton for making sure your [[our) voice is heard. What can possibly be "trial" about installing bike racks? You put them on and then they're there to be used! I know you probably feel kind of alone advocating sometimes but it's people like you who make the difference. Keep up the good work. Fight the good fight.
