Bikes jostle for transit space
Cyclists are demanding TransLink do more to accommodate bike riders on public transit as more commuters switch to two wheels to beat high gas prices.
The number of people seeking to take bicycles on buses and SkyTrain has been building.
And TransLink reports more riders are breaking the rule that bans taking bikes on SkyTrain in the peak direction during the morning and afternoon rushes.
"There`s been a lot more pressure on SkyTrain with people trying to sneak onto the peak direction trains with bikes," spokesman Ken Hardie said.
