The problem with that is if someone needs the space you might get bumped off the train.<br /><br />As for trailers, they are <b>NOT</b> allowed per Trimet:<br />http://trimet.org/howtoride/bikes/bikepolicies.htm<br />I've seen people take trailers on, however, but it's always at the risk of getting kicked off by a fare inspector.<br /><br />Hope this helps!adventure!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11840448827760637569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13762558.post-31385385254499873742011-01-07T12:52:42.801-08:002011-01-07T12:52:42.801-08:00so i've been reading and am very intrigued by ...so i've been reading and am very intrigued by the idea of bike camping. but i have what may be a dumb question: how do you carry your stuff on the Max? I'm having trouble imagining hanging fully-loaded bikes onto the Max hooks, or even wheeling them onto the Max if there are a lot of passengers. It's a long ride to the end of the line!<br /><br />And trailers...?gl.noreply@blogger.com
