Hey all!
I'm starting to plan out a trip that I'm going to take in a while, and am trying to figure out the best way to travel with bike... I live in northern california, and want to bus/train up to Seattle, and ride back. Amtrak tickets were less than a hundred bucks... SWEET! However, how should I anticipate travel to be with a loaded touring bike? I can't exactly pack it in a bike case and take it with me... Nor do I know anybody in Seattle to ship it too before hand... Any hints/tips would be greatly appreciated!
Ryan
