What's the issue with it. When I take the train to Portland from seattle they just roll the bike on and I grab it quite fast when I get off. Sure it's in the bag car but it's a 3-5 hour ride
ok, yeah that sucks. Esp on a commuter train. The portland route will generally just toss extra bikes on in the baggage car and strap them up. yes it can damage your fancy ass paint job.
