Red Trolleys add bike racks

My wife and I were pedaling around Temecula the other day when we were passed by a Red Trolley. I said, I wish they had bike racks on those. Well presto! From my one comment, RTA has added bike racks. Ok, it could have happened that way, but it didn't. I like seeing bike racks on buses and trolleys. In a place like Temecula where public transit usually doesn't go anywhere near where you need to go, adding a bicycle changes everything. If you can get close, you can go the rest of the way by bike. Even for recreational rides, it lets you start your fun ride miles from home, without starting your car. http://www.pe.com/localnews/transportation/stories/PE_News_Local_E_wracks26.3fcdf5d.html Kudos to RTA for the new racks. And when they add a third rack to the regular buses, some of us won't have to wait for the second or third bus to come for an open spot. Nothing worse than standing at a bus stop only to see it pull up with both racks filled. You could buy a folding bike and carry it on, but a lot of people who survive on public transit are probably not going to have the cash to spend the money on a good folder. The cheap ones are no fun to ride.
