You know, most of the time I use the handy-dandy bike-up window at the bank. I stay parked on my bike (in the shade) & haven't had a bit of problem. My bike & I haven't been able to trip the switch at fast food places though. We're too light, I guess. It's the only time I'm too light for something, and I don't apprecite it. Some people are never satisfied.

I guess I'm lucky. Lincoln has a pretty good network of useable trails, and some very bikeable roads. Generally aware drivers, too, though there are some idiots out there. Our bikes have remained unmolested when we go to movies downtown, too.

Therefore DH & I get out and ride places where others drive. And ask for bike racks at those businesses that don't have them. My conceit is that I am helping make transportational cycling more "normal" and mainstream.

Baby steps....
