It would be faster to bike from Denver to Minneapolis than to take a train there, which takes 81 hours longer than driving and requires two trains in the wrong direction (hexbear.net)

I could literally bike across the Great Plains faster than a train and save enough money to buy a new bike. You first have to take the train to California, then to Oregon, and back halfway across the country.

Ok but consider the fact that in order for this time to be accurate, you'd have to be biking nonstop for 3 entire days.
