bike unfriendly workplace

[tulip]

Tulip, I have a bike permit that allows the bike on the train during "non peak" hours.

Although the station that I go to did not even have bike lockers, any station that did LIRR made the DOT remove them and put them on "town" property which could be blocks from the railroad station. Whatever negative things you hear about the LIRR you can believe it. I pay over $300 a month for this also which does include the subway once I am in Manhattan, but the cost will increase soon.

The Mayor of Manhattan has done wonderful things cycling wise in Manhattan. It is too bad he can't do anything with the LIRR and Long Island for that matter.

If you had a Tikit, you could just bring the bike with you. It folds up small and is still very nice to ride. That's what I would do, but your situation might not match the Tikit.

I had to google Tikit. It's a folding bike. Now I know.

Ah ha!!! thanks, I should have done a search, lol. I thought of the idea and would invest in one if I did not work so far from Penn Station. They keep moving us all over the city. Then the LIRR are making cut backs and elminated and combined trains. Going and leaving work the train is filled with people standing in the doorways. I would feel bad having my bike take up space.

I will have to keep nudging the DOT to put up lockers in the town where my station is.
