You could put the bikes on the back instead. On the front it's a hazard to
any errant pedestrians, and would violate the Construction & Use Regulations
or whatever applies to buses.

Or at off-peak times you could put them inside, like they do in
Hamburg - and like I also saw done in Dallas!

Bike racks on the front of buses seem to be very common in the US.

There is or was a rural route in Shropshire which had special provision
for bicycle carriage but there it was on the back, I seem to recall.

Amazing what some places *do* allow on vehicles, though. An Australian
friend of mine once asked what the arrangements were for carrying
surfboards on local trains here in Birmingham. I don't *think* Central
Trains have a specific rule on that one.......
