SEATTLE — King County Metro has enacted regulations limiting the number and size of bicycles on Seattle water taxis.

KING-TV reported that bicycles must fit inside the designated storage spaces on the vessels and the number cannot exceed set limits starting Monday.

The boats Sally Fox and Doc Maynard each have a 26-bicycle capacity. The Spirit of Kingston vessel has a 14-bicycle limit.

King County Metro says riders have been chaining bicycles to handrails or blocking doorways and exits when storage spaces are full, creating safety concerns.
