Sadly, on tonight's inbound Union Pacific North train, around 4:30 PM at Ravinia: the conductor barked over the loudspeaker for all to hear: "Attention!  The bike rider who just got on Car Three!  Get off now! NO BIKES ARE ALLOWED!!!"  The cyclist sheepishly complied and the train moved on.

Why is that sad? If he was paying attention like he should've been, he would know about the blackout dates.

True, but the train wasn't full.  It COULD have taken him and his bike just fine.  Mindless bureaucracy just seems pointless.

Right, and when the train is packed and he wants to get back home, hows that going to work out for him?

He'll have to set up a tent at the Taste and live there until Monday morning?
