Looks like I'll be riding my bike alot more by neccessity, no longer just by choice.

Thanks for the heads up; that was the first I heard. I have described my commute as ideal because I ride outbound in the early morning and take the train home at night, since it's off peak hours, always after 7:00 PM. There always seems to be a lot of outbound commuters after 7:00 PM, and the replies to that thread are an outcry from the sports fans. So I'm hoping it's a negotiating ploy; otherwise, I too will be riding my bike a lot more.

I, too, am hoping it's a negotiating strategy but if it's not the loss of those evening off-peak commuter trains is a total drag. I use them often to get back from Providence RI when I've ridden down there during the day.
