I'm looking into commuting by bike + bus from North Seattle to downtown on Route 41, which arrives and departs from the Metro tunnel during rush hours. I've never taken a bike on a bus before and have a few questions.
1) Will an Electra Townie fit on the Metro rack? (Not sure because of the wider wheelbase.)
2) If my final destination is the Westlake Tunnel Station, would I instead have to get off a stop earlier at the Convention Place stop, which is the first in the ride-free zone? I don't recall ever seeing a bike in the bus tunnel itself and this must be why. If so, then I assume the same thing is true for boarding - I would ride back to the Convention Place stop rather than Westlake?

Any other advice or things I should keep in mind?
Thanks!
