How do you leave a bike on a bus?
Many local buses in the US are equipped with racks on the front, to carry up to three bikes - something I have yet to see on this side of the Atlantic.
It brings problems as well as benefits - particularly the problem of delay, while they are loaded and unloaded.
Another problem is that - amazingly - they are sometimes not collected by their owners at the end of their bus ride.
The local transit agency in Columbus, Ohio, recently managed to dispose of 49 abandoned bikes in an imaginative way. After keeping them for 60 days for owners to claim them, they gave them to a local not-for-profit agency, the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. The bikes were spruced up by the local fire brigade: they were then passed on to local children for Christmas as part of the 'Firefighters 4 Kids' programme.
