Prepping for Black Thursday

Why Fight It, I Ask Myself....
This Thursday is the first general strike in France since Sarkozy came to power. Seems like everyone is a bit pissed off about the credit crunch and worsening economy. Employment was never really good here and is getting worse. Most importantly, looks like my comrades who drive the trains will be striking, but nobody can tell me if that will affect all the metro lines and my regional train line.

I found a pretty good article about the strike here. I can tell you one thing: the rental bikes will be at a premium. I can imagine folks renting them the day before and keeping them at home. I will post more as I know more. Should be an "experience."
