<p>If you ever head back out to Indiana, the South Shore Line, that goes through Indiana and is run by NICTD does not allow bikes on their trains. Yet...hopefully.</p>

<p>I'm not familiar with the METRA Electric line, but I assume their bike policy is the same as the diesel lines. One possible solution is to take a folding bike: as long as it's in a bag, it's not a bike... it's "luggage", and as such is not subject to any black-out periods at all.</p>

<p>An alternative is CTA bus route 30. You can catch it at Ave O and Brainard, near the Hegewisch South Shore station and Burger King. It will drop you off at the 69th st. Red Line station. It's about as far south and east as you can go and still be in Chicago, I think.</p>
