I don't want them The bikes could be stolen when the bus is stopped. Then the owner gives the b/o a hard time and all that goes with it. The bike must be completely under the windshield as not to interfere with the b/o's line of vision.This is NYC. I don't care if it's done elsewhere. |

In NYC there would have to be a lock of some kind so that nobody can just walk up to the bus and take off the bike. But that would mean the b/o would have to park the bus every time someone wants to access the bike rack. |

The bike must be completely under the windshield as not to interfere with the b/o's line of vision.I think the bike rack manufacturers have already taken this into account. This is NYC. So bike racks are only appropriate for Podunk, low-density, and crime free places like Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco... |

Can't I express my opinion?Believe me if they are put on I won't lose any sleep. I'll be enjoying my cup of tea the first time one gets stolen or damaged in a collision. |

Well of course some will get stolen or damaged. Cars get stolen or damaged all the time. Should we stop using them? |

Yes, you can.Good. Of course they will get stolen and damaged. No one has claimed otherwise. I don't see what your problem with them is. |

But I don't think you should be worrying about what will happen on bike racks that you won't be making use of. |

In your world I am not allowed to express my opinion.I don't care what they do, I won't lose sleep. If implimented, you can see if your tricycle will fit on the rack. |

I don't care what they do, I won't lose sleep.If you don't care, then why did you come out against it so strongly in your first post? |
