Wondering if anyone has experience trying to safely ride from downtown
St. Charles to the St. Louis Amtrak station. Thanks for any ideas you
can offer.

Not sure how that ride would be as I have never done it. I'm sure a local could chime in for help.

What I do know is that the MetroLink light rail system allows bikes on-board, departs from the Lambert Airport & will take you downtown to a stop near the Amtrak station. This would save most of your ride as you would only need to cycle from St. Charles to the airport which isn't too far really.

The Amtrak station in Kirkwood is closer. Good luck.

Thanks for the helpful responses. Now I have at least one option and will hope to hear more about riding from St. Charles to Lambert Airport from another local.

Thanks again.

Here are a few pages within this website that you may find helpful, if you haven't seen them yet:

How to get from the St Louis airport to the Katy Trail (or vice versa) - from here you can take Metrolink, as others suggested. Near the bottom of the page is a comment section - note the comment about the "SCAT" bus which takes you from St Charles to the Hanley Metrolink station.

How to get from the Katy Trail to the Kirkwood Amtrak station

Or, if you're up for riding the whole way by bike, how to get from the Katy Trail to downtown St Louis by bike.

Good luck!
