Good news! Hiawatha LRT plans call for at least 6 bike lockers and 10
bike loops at each station. There will also be 2 bicycle storage
hangers inside each rail car. The Metropolitan Council definitely wants
to make bike-to-rail commutes work.

I'd already read this and I appreciate it greatly.  I do, though, have a 
question.  I don't own a "standard" bicycle - I own a recumbent.  The racks 
will be useful and I can lock my bike at the station.  However, I suspect 
the storage hangers are designed for standard upright bicycles (what 
recumbent riders refer to as "wedgies").

I admit that recumbent owners are a minority and I would actually be 
surprised if we were taken into account in the design of light rail, but 
I'll ask the question anyhow.  Will I be able to take my bike on the train?
