I take it the guessing game pic is rotated through 90 degrees? should be handlebars up, and is the only bike rack inside the train you are travelling on?


Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

See bottom of diary after whitespace.

It's the only bike rack in this car; still, in such trains usually 2-4 cars are like this one, with bad space utilisation, and that number is voefully inadequate. On my regular moring train, there are no bike racks at all, even though about a dozen people commute by bike on it (they leave it in the door area or between the seats, so every time a normal passenger wants to get off, there is shuffling...)

I was impressed with the train I was on from Toulouse to Saverdun because they had bike space there and the use of space was very good.  The bikes hang vertically upwards with the front wheel on the rack and it fits about 6 in a fairly small space.  I was too busy taking photos of the things I saw outside the train to think about taking a photo of the rack.  Most remiss of me.

Great diary, DoDo. I really like the photos. What a shame it isn't always a cycling bridge!
