About frickin time.... I always wondered why this line didn't let bikes on. I guess better late than never. So, who is going to be the first cyclist to take their bike on???

I'll definitely be taking advantage of this. I've been thinking about how to get some riding done outside of the city. This will be perfect.

I hope they retrofit all the Indiana stations. I might have a use for a ride to Michigan City.

This will allow, if nothing else, same-day round-trip rides to Greenbush :)

Theoretically. Can't actually use the Michigan City stations though.

They had a trial run last fall 2015. Must have been ok. Get off in Chesterton/Indiana Dunes / hwy 49 and a beautiful ride into Michigan City

Yep, the Dunes Park station is going to be the hot spot. Center of everything, South Shore offices and a police station. Not to mention the high platform necessary for entry and exit.
