I mentioned that advantage just a couple weeks ago here.

At big box stores I cycle right up to the flag pole, tree, sign post or
bike rack next to the entrance, lock the bike and I'm cycling home with
my
staple good, i.e., milk, flour, pasta, beer, chicken gizzards, wilted
greens, moldy bread, etc., before a motorist can even make it across the
huge parking lot.

I'm working on getting them to allow cycling into the store and down the
aisles to save even more time -- "zero stop shopping."

One problem with cycling into some banks is the trap doors need to open
faster.


I have cycled to some shops and taken my bike inside - the ones that
object,
I refuse to patronise anymore and use friendlier ones instead.

Jesus Christ!


It's called voting with your feet - they allow disablity scooters, prams,
pushchairs and baby buggies in.

Listen, If anyone was stupid enough to allow you to bring a bike into their
shop, it would only mean it was because they thought you were an escaped
lunatic and were worried about you bringing out a claw hammer or large knife
before the police arrived.

Normal people would most definitely avoid any shop that allowed people to
bring their bikes inside.

That's why I'm calling bull**** on this story.

When I first read it I chuckled to myself, and thought how on earth are the
psycholists going to be able to defend him on this one? (with the exception
of Bod, of course, whose idolatry of Mason is almost of a sexual nature).

Simon Mason - always superb value for very little money!
