Agencies have generally experienced few maintenance problems with their bicycle services. Problems that were reported by transit agencies included obtaining replacement parts for broken bus bike racks, abandoned bicycles on bus racks and at transit stations, vandalized bicycle lockers, bus washers being damaged by the bus bicycle racks, bus bicycle racks interfering with windshield wipers, and the need to remove the bus bicycle rack when a bus is towed.

At a basic level, research is needed to determine whether revenue from additional bicycle transit riders is greater than the expense of providing the bicycle services. More indepth economic analysis could compare the costs of bicycle and transit integration programs with a broad range of benefits, such as: • Providing customers with more choices of modes for accessing transit; • Improved public image created by offering bicycle services; • Additional political support from bicycle advocates; and • Other benefits, such as reductions in the number of automobiles on congested roadways, reductions in automobile emissions, improvements in public health owing to increased physical activity of bicycle and transit users, etc.
