Will MAX have racks to transport bikes?

Ah, the three Bs of Fort Collins. Bikes. Beers. Barely finding a place to park in Old Town.

The city hopes to alleviate the some frustration caused by the last item on that list with the completion of the MAX bus system, currently scheduled to start service in May 2014.

There won't be bike racks, but there will be room inside the bus for bikes. As the City of Fort Collins says on its website: no more rack on the front, just roll that bike onboard.

The city's website also says the buses will accommodate "three or more bicycles." The website says "Safety will dictate the maximum number of bikes permitted."

For a full tour of the inside of the bus, check out this pdf or watch the video below.
