Bicycles are permitted on Metrorail (limited to two bicycles per car) weekdays except 7-10 a.m. and 4-7 p.m. Bicycles are permitted all day Saturday and Sunday as well as most holidays (limited to four bicycles per car). Bicycles are not permitted on Metrorail on July 4th or other special events or holidays when large crowds use the system.
