Very cool. A new website dedicated to taking your bicycle on a train (in Europe). Sort of The Person with a Saddle in Seat 61. There's mention of it being crowd-sourced, which would be interesting. Instant follow.

I don't know why they call it a potato. Tuber would be just as alliterative, and instructive to boot. Still, an interesting read.
