But if tons of people took bikes on MetroLink, hmmm... Portland has bike racks in their train cars, but they also have a much larger bike commuting community. It would be great to see such a critical mass in St. Louis. Steve,

There are great examples out there if you search. Instead, bikes are always half-shoved down in the stairwell area at the front and rear of cars. It works, but it's not how it should be.
