Commuting in Fall River is getting easier these days- especially with the addition of bike racks on city buses. Next time you have errands to do in and around the city, you can take the bus up the hills and bicycle down them. The bike racks hold two bicycles at a time and with the option to lock the bike to the rack itself. Not only is it a healthy, greener alternative to taking your car during the warm months, but it's a great way to beat the rush hour traffic.
