Ride the train, ride your bicycle. Sounds like a fun trip.

Finally! I realize this is only a test, but it's a big step in the right direction.

Not having bike-friendly train service that parallels a major recreation corridor like the GAP / C&O is just plain stupid. Hopefully Amtrak wakes up and implements this ASAP.

Massive kudos to the Allegheny Trail Alliance. Those folks don't mess around :banana:

This is pretty cool. Does this mean this is a test for "Cross Country" train/cycling?
I would love that. Jump in the train, get off, climb and ride and then get back on the train?!
I'm right on the fringe of being too old for this.:eek:
