I'm planning a ride from Cumberland to Pittsburg in the near future. I was hoping to use Amtrak for the return but it doesn't appear that any of the trains can accommodate checked luggage. Does anyone have any suggestions for public trans or a shuttle with a bike? I'd like to avoid renting a car.

Various bike shops and outfitters in the area run shuttle services. You should be able to find names thru a Google search, or check with bike ships listed on this website.

Amtrak is far for user friendly. We park/leave our car in Cumberland and I take the train back to Cumberland, pick up he car, drive back and pick up our bikes and gear. I know it's involved and there are other ways, however it still may be an option.

I'm looking at the same thing...I'm looking at hiring Grouseland Tours for a shuttle..they charge 250 for up to four people plus bikes...the train schedule makes it I would have to stay an extra day in PT, so the money for the train + extra hotel and meals pretty much washes out...would love to split it with someone else who was planning to return the same date I am in September...
