It's sometimes a long wait to the second one. There's also a limit on the light rail. My recumbent wouldn't fit anyway. Luckily, work's not too far, and I just bike the distance.<BR/><BR/>But I do tend to agree that it's most practical for those who want to board their bikes to get folders.lunaclarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321963909043457740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837540928978896866.post-23807597660493014662008-08-21T17:16:00.000-07:002008-08-21T17:16:00.000-07:00Folders are one option, bicycle lockers at the sta...Folders are one option, bicycle lockers at the stations on both ends is another quick solution.

Lots of regular folders, but lots of electric folders as well. I was also surprised by how nice most of the folders I test rode were. In general, they ride really well! They just make sense.
