Bicycle Safety

At all times cyclists must abide by the instructions and directives of Metrorail Station Managers, Metro Train Operators, Metrobus Operators, Metro Transit Police or city/county police and fire officials.

Safety and Security

Metro encourages cyclists to register their bikes with the National Bike Registry to increase their chances of having a bike returned if it is stolen. If you experience theft or vandalism, please report it to the Metro Transit Police at 202-962-2121.

Using a Bicycle Rack

Metro owns and operates about 1,700 bicycle racks systemwide, and is replacing older racks with new inverted-U racks.

Using an Inverted-U Rack Detach the front wheel. Using a U-lock, fasten the front wheel, back wheel, and bicycle frame together.	Using a Rally Rack III Use a standard, medium-sized key padlock. Place your bicycle between the side bars. Close the bars so that the prongs go through your frame. Insert the lock through the hole in the center of the basket. Close the lock.
