Large chunks of ice rest on a bank above frozen water. A small break in the frozen water exposes smooth liquid water below, which reflect the ice chunks above.
A BART press release dated December 27, 1974 with the following text: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Ushered in with the new year for BART will be the "Bikes on BART" program which is officially set to commence on Wednesday January 1, 1975. The "Bikes on BART" program, which was authorized by BART's Board of Directors back in October, was designed as a six-month trial study to determine the feasibility of transporting regular non-collapsible bicycles on BART trains. Prior policy did not allow for any bikes on trains other than folding bicycles, or bicycles that are disassembled and carried in containers small enough to fit under a seat. The program was developed as a result of wide interest shown in being able to carry regular bicycles onto the trains. The trial program, which is being conducted on a permit basis, allows for bicyclists who have obtained permits to carry their bikes onto BART trains during non-rush hour travel only, between 9:30 a.m. and 3. p.m., and 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.M. Permits may be obtained by bicyclists interested in participating in the program, through BART's Passenger Service Department.
