the rule should be that dirty people must travel in bags!
Actually, I spoke to the conductor on the train about this yesterday. He said that while MY bike was ok since it didn't have a chain or grease or anything, there was no way for them to selectively enforce the rules. They just don't have the time at each stop. Plus, how pissed off/sad would someone be if I'm let on with my Strida and they are not with their bike. So the rule is no bikes at all. I understand that.
It was funny because someone else later asked him about the bike ban and he said 'No bikes! Not even his!' and he nodded at me and my bike and smiled.
