This popped up on the ibob list yesterday, and has been around for a
while but it's the first time I
saw it.

A time capsule video of a bike club outing using the train to get out of London.

I am very pleased that they covered the proper way of hanging bikes on
rubber coated hooks when being transported by train. This method was
approved after careful investigation by the Cycle Touring Commission of
the International Touring Alliance.

I wish the Cycle Touring Commission of the International Touring
Alliance could investigate the Vermonter on how they handle bicycles.
