** PUBLIC SERVICE POST **
I visited the WMATA "Metro" website to research whether bikes could go on the DC Mass Transit system. Here is what I found out:

Bicycles are welcome on Metrorail during all hours; however, we encourage bicyclists to be considerate of other customers and adhere to these rules when traveling with a bicycle.

>> Bikes are not allowed on crowded railcars. Use good judgment and only board cars that can comfortably accommodate you and your bicycle. The middle cars are usually the most crowded, so consider boarding the first or last car of the train.

>> Do not block aisles or doors of the train.

>> Senior citizens and people with disabilities always have priority. You must make designated seating areas available if needed by another passenger.

>> When boarding the train, use the doors at either end of the railcar - not the center doors.

>> Bicycles may not be carried on escalators. Use elevators only.

I take my bike on the metro all the time. Since COVID the metro is almost empty so lots of room to bring a bike on board. I use to bring my bike regularly before COVID. Back then, I avoided rush hours as much as possible just to be considerate but did not have any issues hopping on a train.
