German Bike-Carrying Train
“Amazing German Bike-Carrying Train“
I thought this was pretty cool, but I don’t much difference from our own inclines. It is a cute little german cog-driven commuter train to carry people and bikes up a 2 km hill. From the article, I can’t tell if it is 2 km in elevation, or 2 km distance. Either way, I bet I’d hop on the train to go up!
While we’re on the subject of bicycle assistance up hills… trondheim norway seems to have particularly interesting answer

The dirty dozen just got a whole lot easier…
too laisse faire for pittsburgh, we’re more of a single-speed, hand-crank propelled, open cage vernicular kinda people…
That German take on bike-carrying trains is pretty sweet. When I was in Ireland and Northern Ireland they had a whole enclosed car devoted to bikes on a couple of the commuter lines that I took. It was really nice to have a place out of the elements to keep the bike, but it probably takes a bit more time to load/unload.
