Metro’s Bikestation is one of the many options that is helping to make Seattle bicycle-friendly. All Metro buses are equipped with bike racks to make it easy to combine biking with riding the bus or consider taking the bus in and riding home.  In Downtown police and safety ambassadors ride bikes, so get out and ride.
