The Guardian: “Could you handle five hours on the train and in the saddle every day?”, by Jules Acton.

You’ll need patience, forebearance and and the ability to change your clothes in the street, but cyclo-railing can and does work.

You know when your granddad dies and you tell your friends? How they don’t quite know what to say, and you find yourself actually comforting them?

Well, it’s a bit like that when you mention you travel for five hours a day by train and bicycle. But cyclo-railing isn’t all bad.
