what i learned about the metro north:
-you can't take bicycles on the train during peak hours.
-some conductors can throw a lot of attitude.
-it's entirely possible to get thrown off of two trains in under ten minutes
-getting in a physical altercation with a conductor makes me very angry.
-there's nothing he can do. see the woman in the information window.
-there's nothing she can do. call the customer service number.
-there's no human at the customer service window.
-wrenches come in handy.
-having several handfuls of bike parts on a train during peak hours =/= having a bike on the train during peak hours.
-riding calms me down. even if it's riding in new york, which is crazy and exciting.
