Martin Krieg, took Cal Train, from Palo Alto to San Francisco yesterday, a Friday at 4:11 PM. The most heavily used bike commuter train in the nation., it is a work station library for many, and on this ride a low key Friday nite party for a few others, Cal Train with a bike is truly a fun experience and you will hear that in the voices of the five bike riders he spoke with. Nor does all the noise you will soon hear seem anywhere near as loud as when you are actually in transit.
