Starting Friday, passengers will be allowed to bring their bicycles aboard Tappan ZEExpress buses.
Bikes previously had been banned on the buses, which are primarily used by Rockland commuters to catch Manhattan-bound trains in Tarrytown and White Plains, because of security concerns by Westchester’s public transportation department.

That policy was changed following lobbying by Westchester Cycle Club president David Wilson.
“When you really looked at the issue, it really didn’t hold up,” Wilson said this morning. “From my perspective, that seemed pretty far-fetched. You’re putting a bike in there. It’s hard to disguise a bomb as a bike.”
Riders with bicycles will be able to place their bike inside the luggage compartments of the buses on a first-come, first-serve basis.

This is terrific news for bike commuters as more commuting patterns move to the East West corridor. Great work David.
