It's actually sha, not sya, for bike and train. That's the sound produced when you put small ya next to shi.

^^ its actually "sha" when pronounced...but its "sya" when using the right Romaji... ^^

There is no character Sya, its Shi with a small Ya following it thus common romanization of it is sha(or shya as I have seen a few times but Sha is more widly accepted.)

Both are correct, but "sha" is used more often (I'm assuming Hepburn is slowly dominating).
