Lovely, Ana! Thank you. Should I ever need the bus with my bike, I pray the
same is true!

Hi Patrick,
That’s the way it’s done on buses, at least here in the NW, so no convincing to
be done ;) I do try to be the first in line when the luggage doors open, so I
can slide the bike in first, and then everyone can put their bags around it.

Patrick, you brute. Perhaps the major users of the Rinko MKS are not,
shall we say, as aggressive in their application. Though the very idea
that a pedal can come off without a pedal wrench is so enticing.

As OP, it is so cool what happens when you spend time away from the
keyboard. The goal here is to walk on with the bike, stuff it in the front
part of the car on the top shelf, get off the train and ride away. So no
bike box.
I'm familiar with Amtrak east coast bike transit, and they are
Wow, Ana! Fantastic. Tips for convincing them to let me do this should I ever
need it?

I don’t pack my bike for bus travel; I just slide it in. A few examples:

Hi Steve,
I love traveling by train, but next week I’m headed to Portland and chose the
bus instead: while less comfortable than the train, it’s cheaper, more frequent

I, too, have been wondering about Rinkoing my Sam. If you’re flying, don’t you
still need a hardshell to protect a Rinkoed bike?
Bill: re: Santa Barbara train adventure, now you just reserve a bike space when
purchasing your train ticket and hand your bike to a baggage handler before
boarding
Can you say Brompton?!

Shifters are on downtube, making it easier to rinko.
Cantilever brakes, which is easier than sidepulls, though I think you can
manage it with sidepulls.

If you take the Coast Starlight home, they have limited space on board for
bikes, with no need to disassemble anything. Reserve ahead of time—a bike space
costs $20.
If they run out of bike spaces (basically, hooks that the bikes hang from in
the baggage car), you’ll need to put the
Mostly Amtrak is ro-ro or big boxes, remove your pedals and turn bars.
So Rinko pedals sure wouldn't hurt.

Some questions. Do you have fenders? If so, they need to be dealt
with. The "ideal" solution for Honjo type rear fender is to split it up
at the brake bridge with a connector tab. If you don't have one move on.
What kind of shifters? If you have downtube shifters you're already
there.
This is where Bicycle Quarterly and Rivendell come together.
I'm sure many of you are Bicycle Quarterly readers, like me. I love
reading especially when their travels involve a Rinko'd bike when they take
the Japanese bullet train to some far off part of the country and snap the
