The problem is only a few Amtrak routes allow passengers to bring their bicycles on board unless they are boxed up like luggage.
This report, however, finds "Amtrak is seeing increased demand for walk-on bike service across the United States."
The good news for Anniston and bike tourism is, "Steve Kulm, a spokesman for Amtrak, said the agency is looking for opportunities to retrofit train cars to allow more convenient bike transport."
