After a bike tour this summer I wanted to take the #11
LA -> Seattle train. It required Bicycle disassembly.
Recently I took the Capitol Corridor to Sac, they have bike racks and I was very happy. It makes great sense to have a bicycle and public trans work together. So, what trains have easy bicycle access.
BART - Yes
Capitol Corridor - Yes
Amtrak #11 - No
Others - ?

Re: Bicycles on Trains
02/29If you ever travel from Mountain View to south San Jose
on the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority
(VTA) light rail system, all the train cars have bicycle
racks. Bicyclists regularly bring their bikes onto the
trains. -

Re: Bicycles on Trains
02/29Cool. I have never taken the VTA, as I don't get down there very often. But it looks appealing and I, too, have friends that ride it regularly. Next time I am down in So. Bay area I'll fit it in somehow.

03/02Muni Metro - No (unfortunate, but understandable considering how crowded the trains can be even at off peak times)

Re: Bicycles on Trains
12/30Caltrain does also
BART's bicycle access is limited dring peak hours on transbay routes
Also there are limitations to the number of bikes allowed on the many different transit agencies
