Go Metro during Bike Month! Here’s how to get involved

When you hear our name, Metro, you might first think about buses and trains, but those are only two ways we're helping you get around. Next month -- May -- is Bike Month, and we have a calendar full of events, promotions, and savings in store! But first, a few facts:

• Did you know that we've had a Bike Share program since July 2016? Today, there are 225 Bike Share stations in areas throughout LA County, fielding a brigade of more than 1,800 bikes (both classic and electric) that you can rent, ride, and enjoy. Last year, we provided over 441,000 rides.
• We also plan bikeways along key regional corridors and support cities as they develop facilities. As of 2022, there are 1,894 bike lanes and paths throughout LA County, with more on the way.
• We've also partnered with Bike Hub, an independent contractor, to create Metro Bike Hubs -- secure bike self-parking, maintenance and service stations. Bike Hubs are located at Union Station, Hollywood and Vine, Culver City, and Willowbrook/Rosa Parks station.

• Want to combine bus, rail, and bike? We've made it easy! All Metro buses have front loading bike racks, and you are also welcome to bring bikes on board our trains. It's a great way to experience the city from a new point of view. Read a first-person account here.

Biking is good for you, for the planet, and can sometimes be faster than driving -- what's not to love? Here are some promotions and discounts that we have going on this month:
