I've had good luck using Amtrak alot. It takes a phone call to make sure.
In NC we can take a bike b/t Charlotte and Raleigh w/a reservation and
there is no cost to bring your bike. You can get off any station in b/t
and there are 4 round trip trains daily. So I can do daytrips to each

Thanks all for your collective wisdom. I looked at it again and don't
think it would work either. And the R50 won't help much since I need help
on the bottom. I'll try Steve's coroplast idea to see if that helps. I
was trying to just have one big bag on this bike. But when I carry stuff

Just saw a post from Hope: $2,500 - they can box and ship.
Someone should snag this amazing deal ASAP.
I really cannot buy another bike, otherwise I'd be all over it... this is
one of the last Susie's of that batch which I imagine will be coveted in
the future by lighter riders. My wife has a s

Pam, unfortunately your combination of chunky seatpost binder, old-school
seatpin and sandwich clamp, and the springs on your saddle aren't doing you
any favors in regards to freeing up what already limited space you have. I
seriously doubt the clamp for the R10 will find space on your post. And
All The trains running between Michigan and Chicago take bike
reservations. I've used them all many times.

Pam, you might try a trick I've used to stiffen the bag enough to prevent
sagging. Get your hands on a sheet of corrugated plastic - the same stuff
that is used for political campaign yard signs (they should soon be readily
available for no cost ; )
Cut the plastic sheet to fit the inter
Here is a pic of one on Vince’s Clem, from the staff bikes area of the Riv
site. I think the issue you would run in to is that the down slope of the
R-10 would impinge on the tire on such a small bike. If you can find one,
the Nitto R-50 might work better - that is the QR bag holder, but you wou
I used to ride 6 miles to MacArthur BART, put my bike in a locker I rented,
and hop on a train. In San Francisco, I walked a mile to Caltrain, hopped
on another train and get off at Hillsdale. Then I would get my beater bike
out of another rented locker and ride 4 miles to my office in Redwood
Amen, broke. When I was still working in the city I used to ride the bike
the 2 miles or so the station, take the train downtown, and walk the 4 or 5
blocks to the office. Why others would insist on driving the 25-30 miles
in bumper-to-bumper stop/go traffic and then pay big bucks for a monthl
It’s unfortunate that this country never has, and never will embrace multi-modal transportation. Just think of all the biking possibilities that could be available to so many more of us, and not just those who live in major metropolitan areas. On Jan 27, 2024, at 8:00 AM, Leah Peterson wrote:Yes,
Yes, you remember rightly, George. This was why I had to get a 50 cm Platy (still waiting for parts to be built) - so that I could put it on Amtrak; the 55 is just too long. And even then the 50 will be a tight fit, and you can only have so many bikes on the train, and there’s some other dumb rules
Pam, we can have my husband pick us up and bring us back to Kalamazoo. It’s only an hour and a half drive or something. Amtrak leaves out of Kzoo and you could take that home! We could make this work!!!On Jan 27, 2024, at 12:38 AM, Pam Bikes wrote:Leah, if you do that ride, maybe I can come too.
My old housemate Steve, the younger of two brothers there, got into modern
cycling with a bike I built him on a Bridgestone MB-3 frame. He's taken
that way farther on and is a bike commuter to an office and customer
