My commute to work is about 33 miles - 8 on the bike and about 25 on the train. What really P's me off is the lack of storage for bikes. I use the local "Northern Line" service because it's only a short "hop" on the train and isn't really worth the hassle of storing and retrieving the bike from the guards van on the wonderous East Coast servce (note the sarcasm here!!). On a four carriage train (holding est 250 people) there is official storage for 2 bikes!!!! That is unless some dilbert with a pushchar has decide to block the nice open space with pushchairs!!!
If we're really supposed to be promoting bicyle use in this country would it really be that difficult to put a set of "lifting seats" and wheel slots in each carriage. The official spaces would then at least rise to 8 (and unofficially 16 as we cyclists tend to at least double up). A step in the right direction by anyones standard!!
