Bike and Bus

Picture of Bike Rack on CitiBusBiking is a healthy, enjoyable way to travel. Davenport CitiBus can help you make the most of biking throughout the Quad Cities area. Whether you're heading to work, out for exercise, or just enjoying the day, linking up with a bus extends the distance you can travel and multiplies your options!

Bike Rack Availability
To support your biking journey, each CitiBus features a bicycle rack that can accommodate up to two bikes. The weight limit for coach bicycle racks is 75 pounds per bike slot. No special permit or extra fare is required to use the bike rack.

Responsibility for Bike
Using this service safely is our top priority. CitiBus will NOT be held liable for any damage; bikers assume full responsibility for their property when using this service.

How to Get Started

  •  As the bus approaches, have your bike ready to load. Remove water bottles, pumps, or any loose items that might fall off.
  • Get the driver's attention before loading or unloading your bicycle (this is most important).

Loading Your Bike onto the Rack

  • Load and unload only from the curb side of the street.
  • Squeeze the handle and pull down to release the folded bike rack.
  • Lift your bike onto the rack, fitting the wheels into the slots. Fill the rack from back to front.
  • Raise and release the support arm over the top of the front tire. Make sure the support arm is resting on the tire and not the fender or frame.
  • Be sure the bike is secure. 

Ride the Bus

  • Pay the fare.
  • Sit up front and keep an eye on your bicycle.
  • Exit the bus when you arrive at your destination.

Unloading Your Bike from the Rack

  • Raise the support arm off the tire and move it down and out of your way.
  • Lift your bike out of the rack.
  • Return the rack to the upright position if there is no other bike on the rack or lower the support arm if a bike remains on the rack.
