Bike Rack Coming to Metro North
The Metro North will begin a pilot program to test bike racks on trains in the next few weeks. The racks that will fit 2-4 bikes per train will hold them vertically by the doors and probably look something like this to the left – dork not included. (Thank you Google Images you crazy freaking genie you that can conjure up a visual of anything we command)
No word yet on lifting the peak hour ban of bikes on trains. Design New Haven has a great thread tracking all the ins and outs of the Metro North bike saga.

Bikes on peak hour trains would be disaster. The racks won't easily fit into the current train cars. It may have worked a few years ago, but ridership has grown so much that its a roll of the dice to even get a seat on trains that run express out of Stamford towards NYC.
