Multimodal trip considerations: biking in the suburbs
This post outlines some thoughts about multimodal trip considerations. A multimodal trip entails slightly different considerations than a bike-only trip. Multimodal trips make more sense if the full distance of the trip is too far to bike. This may often be the case in the suburbs. Thankfully, Montgomery County has a relatively decent transit system for a more suburban area. The particular type of multimodal trip covered here is bike + bus and/or train . Obviously, there will probably be some amount of walking involved too. First, if your multimodal trip involves a bus, it is essential to know how to load and unload your bike on the bus. Otherwise, you would have to lock your bike at/near the bus stop and leave it there. Depending on the particular trip you're making, it may make sense to park your bike somewhere and transfer to transit, returning to your bike later. Other times, it makes more sense to bring the bike with you on the train or bus. examples : Going to MC fr
