How To Ride
Bikes, E-Bikes, Scooters & Personal Mobility Devices
Every regular bus offers bike racks on board!
Citrus Connection makes it easy to connect your bike, E-bike, scooter, or other personal mobility device with your bus trip. To keep every ride safe, accessible, and comfortable, please review the rules below before boarding.

Folded Bikes, E-Bikes & Scooters on Board
Folded conventional bikes, folded E-bikes, folded scooters, and similar compact devices may be brought on board when they can be safely stored.
Items must not:
- Block aisles or doors
- Occupy passenger seating or wheelchair spaces
- Interfere with other passengers
- Create a tripping hazard
Customers are responsible for securing and holding their folded bike, scooter, or device while on board. Citrus Connection Operators may deny items that cannot be safely stored.
Electric Bikes & Scooters
Battery-powered E-bikes and E-scooters are allowed when they meet safety requirements.
Electric devices must:
- Be carried or walked onto Citrus Connection property
- Be powered off while on board buses and at terminals
- Have sealed gel, lithium-ion, or NiCad batteries
- Be folded or safely stored when brought inside the bus
Charging electric vehicles at any Citrus Connection facility is prohibited. Damaged batteries are not allowed on Citrus Connection vehicles or property.
Gas-powered bikes, scooters, and other gas-powered vehicles are not permitted.
Bike Racks on Buses
All Citrus Connection buses are equipped with easy-to-use bike racks. Each rack can carry up to two bicycles on a first-come, first-served basis.
Bike rack requirements:
- Up to two bicycles per rack
- Single-seat, two-wheel bicycles only
- Maximum weight: 55 pounds per bike
- Tire width: up to 2.3 inches
- Wheel size: 19 to 29 inches
- Wheelbase: up to 44 inches
- Bike wheels must fully sit in the rack and be secured by the support arm
Electric battery-powered bicycles with standard tires are allowed on the bike rack if they have sealed gel, lithium-ion, or NiCad batteries and fit safely in the rack.
How to Use the Bike Rack
Step 1: Setting Up the Bike Rack
Pull down to release the folded bike rack. You need one hand to pull the rack down, so you can hold your bike with the other hand.
Step 2: Loading Your Bike
Lift your bike onto the rack, fitting the wheels into the slots. Each slot is labeled for front and rear wheels. Please load your bike in the inside slot first.
Step 3: Locking Down Your Bike
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 on the fender or frame. Board the bus and sit as close to the front of the bus as possible, keeping your bike in view.
Step 4: Unloading Your Bike
Tell the driver you need to unload your bike before you approach your stop. Raise the support arm off the tire. Move the support arm down, out of your way. Lift your bike out of the rack. Fold up the bike rack if there is no other bike in the rack.
Important Reminders
Bike racks are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If the rack is full, please wait for the next bus or choose a safe place to lock your bicycle.
Locking bikes to the bus rack is not allowed. Citrus Connection is not responsible for theft or damage while a bike is mounted on a rack or at any Citrus Connection facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size bike will fit on the bike rack?
The bike racks are designed for bikes no smaller than 16 inches or larger than 26 inches.
My bike has battery power. Can I load it in the bike rack?
Electric battery-powered bicycles with standard tires are allowed on the bike rack if they have sealed gel, lithium-ion, or NiCad batteries and fit safely in the rack.
My bike has really wide tires. Can I put the bike in the bike rack?
If the tire fits in the rack, it is permissible. If for any reason, the tire does not fit properly in the rack, then the bike cannot be safely placed in the rack. A bus operator can refuse permission to place the bike in the rack if he/she deems it is a safety concern.
When I get to my stop, can I just go unload my bike and be on my way?
Tell the Bus Operator that you are going to remove your bike, then exit through the front door.
