My Mom is coming down to LA to visit family when UK-Elephant and I ride in on the AIDS LifeCycle. UK-E will be flying home from LA with her bike as checked luggage, but I'll be flying back a week later from San Francisco. Mom suggested that we take the train back to SF from LA. She checked with them about taking the bike. Answer was that I pack it (I'm buying a Packworks EEP for it) and arrive with it at the station an hour before departure. The bike rides in the luggage car as checked luggage. If it's at all like trains in Norway, I'll be able to watch how it's handled and where it's stowed in the luggage car. I'm not worried. The flight stretches will be more worrisome.
