Video - RideTHISbike.com At National Train Day

This weekend, I was invited to display and demonstrate folding bikes at the New Orleans celebration of National Train Day 2009. Bikes are allowed to be taken aboard travel on Amtrak; however, only folding bikes can go anywhere Amtrak serves.

Here's a short video I shot at the event. Note the IF MODE full size folding bike on display. In addition, I brought a CarryMe DS, Strida 5.0, a Kent Compact Nexus 3, an E-Z Pack and the Kent Mini 8 folding bike prototype.

If you're curious about Amtrak's policy concerning bicycles that fold, here's a copy of the official policy statement concerning carriage of folding bikes aboard Amtrak trains.
