Do people bicycle from the St. Louis Amtrak Station to the Katy Trail in St. Charles? My wife and I are thinking of tandeming the Katy Trail this year, both ways, and taking an Amtrak from Dallas, TX to St. Louis. This way we wouldn't have to leave our truck somewhere for two weeks and we'd reduce our carbon footprint... just want to make sure that this is a safe plan... we'd probably be doing this early on a Saturday morning both ways. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Howard

No problem riding to the trail. Take the train to Kirkwood, MO. Here is the link that provides directions from the Kirkwood station to the Katy.

If you plan to bring your own tandem, you may want to check with Amtrak. Or renting??

Good for you on thinking carbon footprint, we should all think that way.

I think you would have to rent or ship bike. Amtrak will carry your conventional bikes, and trailers that can be stowed as luggage only.
