Signage,
including destination, direction, information, and warning, was plentiful.
The question is whether it is visible enough or can be easily missed when
cycling by. |

Amtrak
Brochure – Bring your Bike on Amtrak California |
|
|
| |
|
|
Kudos to
Amtrak and Caltrans, Division of Rail. Just an excellent approach to attracting
people to combining bike and transit (trains and trains / bus) for a trip
in California. |
|
| |
|
|
The brochure
reads “Amtrak California is Bicycle-Friendly”. Caltrans has
provided funding for trains operating within the state and bicycle facilities
on board. |
|
 |
|
|
On the
cover page is a cyclist (Why a white male?) cycling on a bike bridge in
Berkeley and a message “Trip Ideas Inside”. On a panel on trains,
the reader is advised that there are 3 hooks in each car, as a minimum with
some having 12, for hanging bikes. Some trains carry bikes in boxes only.
For Amtrak connector buses, they also carry bikes so the coverage is state
wide. |
|
 |
|
|
There is
a panel on how to bike and rail. It explains how to attach your bike to
a hook. Then there is a panel on bikes and Amtrak buses. These buses have
a baggage bay for bikes. |
|
 |
|
|
Now, here
is the really good part of the brochure that Amtrak and Caltrans should
be congratulated for. On one side of the brochure there is a four panel
map of California. The routes for Bikes on Amtrak Californian trains, on
Amtrak Californian buses, on Commuter rail, on BART, on urban rail are all
shown. Bike friendly destinations are marked with a circle. Beside each
town or city which is bike friendly there is a description of what could
be done in the area, types of cycling facilities, distance of paved trails,
and an internet address for more information. The map is called “Top
25 Bike-Train Ideas”. |

A cycling
Network that would induce people to tour the area by bike. |
|
| |
|
|
Looking
out from the train, occasionally there are paved bike paths close to the
water. Other times there are bike lanes on the coastal roads.
