    Dear fellow bicyclists,
    I commute to Long Island daily using precisely that combination: train/bike. Well, LIRR tolerates us, bicyclists, most of the time, but does not encourage us at all. It suffice to check LIRR Bicycle Permit Regulations at http://www.mta.info/lirr/pubs/bikerulelirr.htm

    Typical bike weights 25 - 30 pounds or less and takes very little space, but it is allowed off peek time only. Personally, I can evade this rule by folding my Brompton and putting it in the bag, but not everyone has a folding bike. At the same time, no restrictions exist and no special permit required for passengers with huge luggage. I routinely see people caring 100 pounds plus suitcases.
