I kinda muttered a "Don't frigging lie to me about YOUR rules buddy" - damn people. I think it only happened because he happened to see me, and a train had just come in and there were a ton of people around - I know I can even get on the earlier train if need be, although that would technically be breaking their bikes-on-train time restrictions.
Yeah ****ing rent a cops. Have nothing better to do, if they see something that sticks out they gotta get their noses in it. Set your watch to union station time by the second and walk in at the exact time you're allowed to.

If they say something, I politely tell them to **** off. It's bad enough you're not allowed to take bikes, folded or not on transit in rush hour (understandable since they make zero provisions for it) but getting hassled by ******* getting paid near minimum wage puts me over the top.

I had a guy literally grab me as I was already on the escalator going down towards the subway, and having him tell me to take the elevator. Man it would've been funny if I had slipped on my look cleats and fell all the way to the bottom and then sued their ass for 30 billion dollars.

When you have a bike, everyone treats you like a homeless meth addict. It also doesn't help that I don't look old enough to buy alochol either.

My wife laughed when I told her I was getting hit on. Not sure what that means.
Come on... you didn't ask her if she wanted a ride with you?!!
