With tomorrow being Bike to Work Day and all, I called Mount Pleasant Town Hall to ask where I might lock my bike up at the train station, in advance of my heroic ride tomorrow morning. The convo went something like this:

Me: “Hi, I’m curious about where I can lock a bike up at Hawthorne train.”

Her: “I have a Metro-North person right here! I’ll ask him!”

Mumbling ensues.

Her: “He says at the bike rack next to the stairs. But I passed by there today, it’s not there.”

I waited for Plan B.

Her: “OK?”

Me, in my head: No, not OK!

Me: “So…I’m on my own?”

Her: “Yup.”
