Metrolink bike train cars

from Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space by Richard Layman

Notions Capital sends us the link to this piece from Metro Magazine, "Metrolink launches 'bike cars' to transport cyclists," which includes this great image.

Standard Metrolink cars can carry two bikes (presumably on hooks), the cars with the bike wrapping (or other indicators) can carry 18 bikes and at least initially will run on weekends on the "Inland Empire" trains providing service to beach communities.

This Streetsblog LA entry from August, "Box: Metrolink Passes Bike Friendly Test," has images of the interior of the train cars.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
