Anyway, I wouldn't consider bringing my bike with me on every trip, maybe once or twice a month to Belgium or wherever. It was just a thought to make my training fun and see the country side. Thanks a bunch for the support and the info guys!!
I have a bunch of bikes. I just did 40 miles on my Look KG381i. Also have two Serottas, an Eddy Merckx and a couple of Croll road bikes. No shortage of road bikes in my fleet!
Frankly, my layovers even on the CRJ are sometimes long enough, and in places where riding would be nice! Especially upstate New York or New Hampshire or Vermont. But we already have enough hassles and I am usually tired enough that a 30-45 minute run is all I can muster.
But believe me, I empathise with your idea. I have many layovers where I would love to get out and go for a 2-hour ride or so.
