With a funding grant provided by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, County Connection purchased 112 front-loading bike racks to equip the entire active fleet of buses serving the central Contra Costa County. We put a lot of effort into promoting commute alternatives and this is one market we have not traditionally been able to serve well. The easy-loading racks, created by Sportworks Inc., have a unique spring arm design that creates points of contact along the front tire. This feature eliminates any chance of damaging or scratching the bike frame. The racks will securely hold both youth and adult bikes.
Cyclists are responsible for loading, unloading and securing their own bikes.
Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult when using the racks. Safety instructional material is available on all County Connection buses, in the Transportation Center at Walnut Creek BART station and at the sales outlets throughout central Contra Costa.
