What to Know
- Bike Week at Metrolink
- May 13-17, 2024
- Passengers who bring their bikes onto a Metrolink or Arrow train during Bike Week will enjoy fare-free rides over five days
A modern journey often requires different modes of transport, with people hopping onto buses, trains, or planes to get where they're going.
And for plenty of us, two-wheeling it to our destination, or at least along one leg of our trip, is a frequent, feel-good occurrence.
And bringing our bike onto a train? That is, for many Southern Californians, a daily must-do, whether we're heading to the office or on an adventure.

If that's your main on-the-go combo — bike + train — be cheered, for Bike Week is here, a mid-May celebration that throws the kickstand up on all sorts of cycle-centered savings.
A main and seriously savings-strong Bike Week deal is offered annually by Metrolink, and not just on a single day: Riders who board the commuter rail service with their bike can ride for free from May 13-17, 2024 with "no ticket needed."
If you've ever enjoyed a Metrolink adventure with your bicycle at your side, you know about the Bike Car, which can hold up to nine bikes.
