Metrolink is kicking off its Summer of Adventure by celebrating National Bike Month. The bike month festivities include a free fare for riders who board trains with their bicycles during Bike to Work Week from May 16 through May 20 and a Cycle SoCal sweepstakes giveaway worth more than $2,500, including a new e-bike, a Metrolink monthly pass, an overnight experience at a local luxury hotel, and dinner for two at a well-known restaurant.
Metrolink partnered with SoCal-based e-bike company, Aventon Bikes, and local media outlet LOCALE Magazine for the giveaway of a new e-bike that features a 40-mile average range with a foldable frame, pedals, and handlebars, made for easy transportation. To learn more about how to enter the contest, visit Metrolink’s Bike Month webpage.
Working with outdoor adventure company AllTrails, Metrolink will share a specially curated lineup of trails for cyclists within two miles of a Metrolink train station and add a collection of bike trail destinations on its EXPLORE webpage. Pairing cycling with rail travel is easy with Metrolink’s amenities, including dedicated bike cars that each hold nine bikes, bike storage lockers at 23 stations, and bike racks at 34 stations.
“Metrolink’s bike-friendly passenger trains are perfect for a summer travel adventure as well as for those riders who use their bikes for part of their commute,” Metrolink Board Chair Ara Najarian said. “And during Bike to Work Week, we invite everyone to bring their bike and take the train to work or anywhere they like, free for the entire week.”
Metrolink’s Summer of Adventure runs from May through August and will share discounted fare options, ideas for getaway destinations, and fun surprises for riders.
Metrolink’s 538 miles of track and 62 stations across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties serve as an essential link in the region’s mobility network, enabling people to connect to their jobs and explore all that the region has to offer.
