Is there a tire width that is too large to fit in the bike rack? I have 2.5 wide tires, will it fit?

[GPCOGvideo]

2.5 " tires will probably fit. The openings are huge! If you have a 29" tire with that, it might not, but even that would surprise me.

leaving the rack down is considered sloppy and it can possible become a danger in the event of a crash to the occupents of the vechicle being struck

Thanks. Thats a good point.

Ditto, what was already said, please put the bike rack back up when you're done with it. This is a safety issue, because as a driver, you can't see that the bike rack is down without a bike on it. Then it becomes a possible hazard that you could put into a bumper of a car in front of you if you then misjudge the distance.

That's a great insight. Thanks for posting it.

Very helpful. I have to bring my bike with me on Tuesday, and I've only used the bike rack once, I didn't want to ask the driver again.

Sweet now I won't look like an idiot.

Will the bike not fall off?

[PimpingRice]

I have a bike for almost 3 years and I've never used the city bus bike racks before.

Will the bike rack hold a folding bike with 20" wheels? (BMX size)
