.2's Look ugly with the grey veloporter bike racks but they look great on Irisbuses and MAN 18:310 CNG's.   
I like the .2's with them

I doubt that all buses will ever be fitted with bike racks. 14.5s, artics & darts will not get them. PR100.2 Mk2s should be plenty. They just need to do all the .3s. 

Add 911 & 959 to the list.

Following on what I overheard a few weeks back, which bike racks do you all think is the most user friendly?

I did overhear a passenger telling the driver how the yellow bike racks are so much simpler to use then the grey bike racks.

They are. The seems to be a slight difference in the way you secure the bike and it is much easier to do on the older ones.

Yes, I can imagine the older ones have more trouble securing their bile..

Based on the details in the fleetwiki, ACTION have now over 200 bike-racked buses (if you count the 13 MANs not yet in service).

There may still be more with bike racks which have not been updated on the wiki. Since they appear to be putting racks on everything from 902 to 982 (and eventually 890-982), the following have not been reported to have bike racks. Can all interested bus spotters please keep an eye out for any of these and report if you see them with a bike rack.

908 917 939 940 944 949 962 970 971 973 976 977.

I wish 971 didn't have a rack, I liked having at least one of the dinosoar buses without a rack.

The new permit has started being put into the buses.

And the big news: the range is now
100 to 131
300 to 463
882 to 982.

Metrobus reports 949 has been fitted with a rack.

I wonder why 982 is loosing its bike rack?

Bus 946 is now rackless, but is in the big pile of buses at Tuggeranong bricks so a bike rack may be being reattached.

The remaining Tuggeranong PR100.3s have had DL2s fitted (haven't seen 125 yet but 123 & 126 have been fitted). Don't know if 903 has had a rack put back on after its smash repairs - it didn't have one last time I saw it.

Found this when browsing through twitter : in reply to tweets about lack of bike racks on "intercity" buses, Minister Simon Corbell replied:

Quote from: @SimonCorbell@Alistaireo by 30 June 2012, ACTION is projected to have around 80% of in-service (operational) fleet fitted with bike racks #canberra

Depending on how you count them, allowing for 18 more MAN 18.320s (and 18 PR100.2 withdrawals) plus the remaining 14 Scania K320s, ACTION's operational fleet at 30 June 2012 will be 448. Excluding the artics (33), Darts (25) and K320s (26) leaves 364 buses capable of having a bike rack fitted - which is 81%. If you were to also exclude the remaining Mk1 PR100.2s (~44), the percentage would drop to 71.

So it looks like the plan is to have bike racks on every available bus within the next 12 months.

Original tweets are as follows:

Quote from: @Alistaireo date=23 June 2011@SimonCorbell I love Action Buses!also love my bike.Why arn't more bike racks on buses?can't plan2catch bus Cause they don't all have 'em

Quote from: @Alistaireo date=23 June 2011@SimonCorbell caught a bus lately bro? esp intercity? Not close2a majority of those have bike racks. Make budget to get more or #laborsucks
