We now turn to the topic of bikes on BART
Thousands of different people could’ve written this post, but it was BART rider and friend of Muni Diaries Blair (she of the 12-Folsom fix) who put it best:
Nothing will stop the scouuuuuuurge, because these people can’t read:
BIKES ON BART RULES
- During non-commute hours, bikes are allowed on all trains except the first car or any crowded car.
- During commute hours (7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:30 to 6:30 PM, weekdays), bikes are not allowed in the first three cars of any train.
- Folded bikes are allowed in all cars at all times.
- Regardless of any other rule, bikes are never allowed on crowded cars. Use your good judgment and only board cars that can comfortably accommodate you and your bicycle.
- Bicyclists must hold their bikes while on the trains.
- Bicyclists must use elevators or stairs, not escalators, and always walk bikes.
- Bicyclists must yield priority seating to seniors and people with disabilities, yield to other passengers, and not block aisles or doors.
- In case of an evacuation, leave your bike on the train and do not let it block aisles or doors.
- Bicyclists under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
- Gas powered vehicles are never permitted.
- On BART property, bikes must be parked in racks and lockers. Bikes parked against poles, fences or railings will be removed.

bikes/bikeRules Dear BART:
Please post the bike rules above EVERY bike section in your train cars.
BAM!
This all comes about because, well, every fucka day, but also, BART rider Joshua tweeted the above photo and said, “Hey self-absorbed bike guy on this uber-crowded @SFBART car.. just wait for the next train. #BikeFAIL”
Correct!
