<p>That's some nice dedicated space for bikes! I wish Metra would consider removing a few seats and do the same.</p>

<p>My guess is that not every train would have the bike racks on it. Only certain trains at certain times of the day.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As for weekend vs. weekday, hopefully when the weekend trains prove to be very popular, NITCD will add racks to off-peak weekday trains.</p>

<p>"The runs were successful and gave a limited number of bicycle riders a chance to try them out and see how it will work when the railroad implements a regular <strong>weekend schedule</strong> of bicycle cars this spring"</p>

<p>Weekends, huh? Well, at least it's a start.</p>

<p>I've been thinking about creating a petition on the Change.org to press the South Shore line to allow (and accomodate for, not just <em>allow</em> in a screwy Metra fashion) bicycles on its trains. Maybe it's still worth doing. If local businesses (like breweries, for example), tourism and economic development organizations in North Indiana and Southwest Michigan would sign . . .</p>
<p>Just an idea ;)</p>
