I'd pay a modest amount for a bike ticket if it meant upgrading from the current effectively-standby status to something more certain, but it's not an option!
Also, why are bikes unfair but those recent huge rolling suitcases allowed even at peak? Three of those take up the floor space of three bikes and don't fit in luggage racks except on the airport expresses.
