I am planning on riding the C&O / Allegheny trail. My plan is to drive to Washington, DC with my bicycle and ride to Pittsburg. Then I would like to take Amtrak from Pittsburg back to DC with my bicycle. Questions> How far is it from the trail to the Amtrak station? The cheapest fair starts at 5:30 am. Is the Amtrak Station safe at 5:30 am? Has anyone done this and if so, how did it work out? Where could I leave my car in Washington, DC? Obviously, I am looking for the cheapest way to do this. Another thought is to have my bike shipped from a bike shop in Pittsburg to my home in Tampa, FL and I would take a plane to DC and drive home. Does anyone know a local bike shop in Pittsburg that can take care of packing and ship it for me? About how much will that cost? Thanks in Advance!
