Outing Highlights
Access to Iconic Rail-Trails
The Auto Rack delivers bikes to celebrated rail-trails in the region — notably the Route of the Hiawatha and the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes — so riders can start where the scenery is best and the climbs are already behind them.
Simple, Group-Friendly Transport
Designed to carry small groups, the service accommodates between two and six bikes at a time, smoothing the logistics for partners or friend groups who'd rather pedal than wrestle with bike racks.
A Helpful Option — With Practical Constraints
While the Auto Rack eases trail access, availability is limited and the unit will not fit all cars, so riders should plan ahead rather than assuming walk-up availability.

It’s a pragmatic transport option that keeps the day centered on the ride.
