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.

I used to cycle to WH Smith on my way home to buy a few magazines every
month and the woman on the till let me park my bike just inside the door as
there were no stands outside.

One day, some young trainee herbert asked me to take it out, so I put my
items back on the shelves and never went back in again.

I bet they were well relieved.
