Bike on BART? Strap it on, baby
Last September we told you about the new bike straps that BART was piloting in select cars, intending to secure unruly bicycles during bumping rides. Or during that false stop + go slightly + stop-stop. Ugh, you know what I’m talking about.
SFGate reported that, as a part of a new test program in 60 BART cars, you’ll find more of the storied straps, either Velcro or a buckle. Rider @prinzrob spotted the velcro variety on BART the other day.
Multi-modal riders: how are the new straps working out for you, and any tips you want to share with fellow cyclists/BART riders?
The straps are great for storing more than one bicycle in that space. It also slows down the thieves who grab bikes and jump out the door.
I think riding these bikes is just as good for environmental friendliness.
