That is great information. I suggest anyone going by bus with their bike to read that. I actually thought of doing that to get to VA when I do my USA tour to join up with the beginning of the Adventure Cycling Trans Am tour...when I retire, there's no way any employer would allow 3 months of vacation time!!

Also my understanding is they can treat your panniers like luggage, or you could put those in a box too if your concerned about possible ripping which is highly unlikely.

I actually did several credit card short tours back in the 80's taking Amtrak from Santa Barbara CA to San Francisco then rode back. Amtrak treated your bike like it was a human being...very well. Not sure if that's the case anymore but I haven't heard anything bad about them and bikes since then either.
