been in the law since 1998 but only a few Amtrak trains allow un boxed bikes. No Acela trains and unofficially

on the Capital Limited. Be great for short weekend trips like Amtrak up and bike back

Don't hold your breath waiting for it.  There isn't a lot of space available on any trains for bicycles.  Most suburban rail operations only allow a limited number of bikes on off-peak trains and none on rush-hour trains.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
