Transit Access for Bicyclists
 Metrorail: Passengers are allowed to bring bicyles with them on Metrorail during off-peak hours on weekdays, and anytime on weekends. Metro will sometimes prohibit bikes on the system on some holidays or special-event days when ridership is expected to be high. Bicyclists should enter the Metrorail car from the end set of doors (not in the middle of the car). There is no extra charge for transporting a bike on Metrorail.
 Metrobus: Cyclists can transport their bikes aboard Metrobus in quality, heavy-duty racks attached to the front of each bus. Up to two bikes can be stored in each rack, which cyclists can easily load and unload themselves, following the simple instructions affixed to the racks. Thre is no extra charge for passengers transporting a bike.
