Where Can I Buy A Buffalo Bike _TOP_

By Jack Seifert, Cascade donor Two years ago I was riding Chilly Hilly, thinking about other rides I could do in the summer. "What's with all these fundraiser rides? I have to pay for the ride and raise money? Shouldn't cycling be free?" Then I met 'The Bike.' She was beautiful, not in a sexy sort of way, more strong and capable and an easy joy to ride. Then I learned what she was for. This was not a bike you could buy in America. This was an Africa bike, made for the rigors of rural roads, transporting schoolgirls to school and milk to market. This is something I can fundraise for with a passion.

OK, you can't buy a Buffalo bike in the US. 'The Bike' is made by World Bicycle Relief specifically for Africa, and they train assemblers and mechanics and supply spare parts so this can be a long term relationship. But there are a few bikes in this country for demonstration purposes and I got my hands on one for last year's Red-Bell 100. Like I said, this bike is designed for Africa, not Pacific Northwest centuries. It weighs close to 50 pounds and can carry 300 to 400 pounds of whatever. There's one gear and a coaster brake. I truly wasn't sure if my knees could handle it. But I figured if little schoolgirls in Zambia can ride day in and day out and farmers can carry who knows how many gallons of milk on one of these babies, I can ride one for one day. I had the time of my life. I decided I had two gears, sitting and standing, although I kept trying to shift gears with the bell. Since there's a big rack capable of carrying heavy loads I needed to carry something, so I strapped on a cooler full of lemonade and enjoyed sharing my bounty. I did walk up one hill to save my knee but no one was watching so it was ok. But mostly I felt a great joy of cycling and the power and potential of cycling, and specifically of the difference these bicycles make to the schoolgirls and farmers and everyone else in Africa that has access to one.

I've been in cycling most of my life. I've been a courier and a mechanic and I've been touring across the US and New Zealand, and I've commuted by bicycle in the past. But for the last decade I've worked at home and worked on my home and my bikes have mostly collected dust. Until I met 'The Bike.' Now I'm excited again. No place to commute but I'm doing day rides and trips to the store and planning centuries and tours for this summer. Learning how Red-Bell 100 also supports Cascade's youth cycling programs has me thrilled too. I've donated a dusty bike and I've volunteered to fix bikes and help in other ways as well. Cycling is just plain good. Which makes fundraising easy when you believe that. If you believe cycling is good and you explain World Bicycle Relief or Major Taylor Project people will donate money to your cause. Now, it's more fun if you put some fun in it, so I did things that I like to do, like make a bunch of BBQ and 'sell' plates, and host a Texas Hold-em poker tournament. By thinking creatively of value-added things you can do, you can create incentives for more donations. But I'm convinced the most important thing is believing in your cause and then getting the word out.

Part of the joy of a journey by train is the ability to explore the stops along the way, and what better way to do that than by bike? If you'd like to ride our rails with your bike, we offer a number of different services to transport your bike onboard. Each train has different equipment and loading procedures that dictate what service will be offered. The capabilities of your origin and destination station also determine how bikes are handled, so check out all the details here before you book your trip. If you still have questions, check out the Bike FAQs.

Standard full-size bicycles may be carried on and stored onboard in bicycle racks on these select certain trains. On short-distance routes in the Northeast, passengers must remove the front wheel before storing their bike.

Bicycles must be stored in the designated racks/areas inside Coach passenger cars. On trains with unreserved carry-on bicycle service, racks are available at a first-come, first-serve basis. When the racks are full, bikes will no longer be accepted onboard.

Only true folding bicycles (bicycles specifically designed to fold up into a compact assembly) are acceptable. Generally, these bikes have frame latches allowing the frame to be collapsed, and small wheels. Regular bikes of any size, with or without wheels, are not considered folding bikes, and may not be stored as folding bikes aboard trains.

You must fold up your folding bicycle before boarding the train. You may store the bike only in luggage storage areas at the end of the car (or, in Superliners, on the lower level). You may not store bikes in overhead racks.

Bicycles may be checked on Amtrak between all cities where checked baggage is offered. Not all trains or locations are equipped to handle checked baggage. Find your station(s) to see if this service is available.
