The Foundation

The Sportworks Bike-Rack-for-Buses is the most proven and widely used bike rack in the transit industry. Every day this multimodal product services thousands of riders nationwide in over four hundred transit properties. Austin, Texas; Ithaca, New York; Seattle, Washington; Duluth, Minnesota; Los Angeles, California; Atlanta, Georgia; and Salt Lake City, Utah, are only a few who have awarded us fleet-wide contracts. Los Angeles County MTA awarded us a contract over four years ago that encompasses all 2000 of the buses in LA County.

Designed by cyclists, the innovative Sportworks bike rack design overcomes most challenges of combining bicycles with mass transit. Route schedules are not affected as the self-storing support arms allow for extremely quick loading and unloading of the bicycles. The rack holds all bicycles independently and in the same manner, even children’s bicycles. The rack will not scratch bicycles as all points of contact between the bicycle and the rack are on the bicycle’s tires. The rack is very easy to maintain because the design is simple and has a minimum of moving parts. Overall, the Sportworks Bike-Rack-for-Buses is simple, affordable, and extremely fast.

Sportworks is committed to the product, and we are always ready to assist our customers on any level, from marketing to engineering. We have the ability to turn around orders very quickly and we always have a full spare parts inventory.
