Metro has amended its policy on folding bicycles after a top D.C. official was busted for trying to bring her bike into a Metro station.

The transit agency said Monday that the folding bikes no longer need to placed in bags before put on trains during rush hour service. They must remain folded, though. Standard bikes remain banned between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. and between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays, plus during some special events.
