I think it's cool that your getting a trike. I picked up a used Mohawk this summer and it still needs some more work, but it is big and funky and fun. It is a nice heavy industrial bike, built to keep going even if a bit slow! Glad it's being brought to you.

It's good that he's willing to deliver it to you. Metra wouldn't be an option. Here's a portion of the text from the Bikes on Trains page from the Metra web site:

3. Standard bicycles not exceeding 70 inches in length will be permitted. Tricycles, tandems, trailers, bulky attachments, training wheels or powered bicycles are prohibited.

Well, I could. Just not so sure about riding it on busy roadways out in the burbs. I did think about trying to getting it on Metra. They don't say anything about no trikes allowed, only recombents. Or, I could where a old gray wig that I have and look like a crazy grandma. That actually might be fun!

bwahahaha.. Great minds brother, great minds..

Amber, why don't you ride it home? The ride from McHenry isn't that bad at all.. While a long ride, making a day of it could be fun..

Nope, they did not ban me yet ....
Amber, so you got it covered ? I don't feel like driving all the way out there but Metra will so NO (for sure) don't even try ... $30 bucks is a gift anyway ... Otherwise I have a friend with a pickup truck who would do it for you Sunday. Let me know now via text or a quick call and I will give you his #. his name is Sam, you might know him. 773-343-4500 ....

He said it's been sitting for 6 years and all it needs are new tubes in the rear tires. So, I think I'll take him up on his offer to deliver it to me.
