Nate Posted August 5, 2014 Share #51 Posted August 5, 2014 whatever you do, don't take a double decker bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted August 5, 2014 Share #52 Posted August 5, 2014 Another option to consider is Amtrak, for yourself and your bike. The costs alone make it an option worth examining. Good suggestion. Check with Amtrak ahead of time to make sure they will allow you to bring your bike aboard. Bringing your bike on board may be limited to stations where baggage checking is available. http://www.amtrak.com/bring-your-bicycle-onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, price is nice, buuuuuttttt..... Milwaukee to Penn Station is around one day each way. If you're adding a long drive to and from Milwaukee, that's something else to factor in.

smudge ★ Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share #56 Posted August 8, 2014 Ok. I have set up (yes, already) a nice little studio in Brooklyn. Ummm, Bed-Stuy area??? Gave me a bit of a deal on it since I'm booking so early, and they like bikes too! Nate, I finally saw the news about the double decker bus. Whoops!

All I know about that place is Billy Joel wrote a song about being crazy and walking "through Bedford-Stuy alone". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share #59 Posted August 8, 2014 Hmm, can you back out of it? Yes. I have put half rental fee down. Can get full refund up until 30 days before expected arrival. Can get half refund up to 15 days before expected arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the ladies I work with says it's a good area. A friend of hers lives just a few blocks from where I am renting. She has lived in NY in the past, and she has visited this friend not long ago. She knows the area and has approved. In fact she's looking into renting this place next time she visits her friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
