Bicycles and scooters on transit are a geometry problem: a bicycle takes up considerably more space than a person does! But some caveats...https://twitter.com/wutrain/status/926081267787096065 …

Oh I’m referring to bike parking for the Netherlands; I think there are a few that bring them on trains but very small compared to parking
-
Ah! Gotchu, gotchu...yes, bikes for *one end* of the trip works. Every attempt to bring them along runs into geometry issues
-
As a compromise for a place like Boston which is still not ideally walkable, you want bike parking on one end and bike share on the other...
-
...and since any stop could be origin OR destination, might as well go with both at all stops

I used bus bike racks a lot when I lived too far from a bus; only worked if only a few were like me
-
yeah, I used to use them a lot when at UMass and living in Belchertown, and occasionally I'd be hosed bc I was too late to the rack
-
then you could just lock them up at the stop; hmm... the main use for me of bike on bus was so I didn't have to bike in the dark for long
-
but bike in during the morning

Met a Dutch guy in the Bay Area who was surprised how few bike to bart stations; BART has the most of any US rail system
