Ben Gray replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"I am in the 'hood, living and working.
Got to say something nice about Nora and John over at Uptown Bikes too. They're very friendly, know me by name and are solid mechanics to boot. Happy to spend money in there.

Minh replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"Ok I just shopped with my bike at the Jewel on Kedzie/Elston. They probably wouldn't have let me if it was early in the day.
random thought: just saw Silver"
Julie Hochstadter replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"Yeah they'd totally been cool with me. Ben, are you in the hood too?

El Dorado replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"There are good reasons why fast food places do not allow bikes through the drive-through. The biggest being robbery."
Ben Gray replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"Crafty Beaver on Lawrence encourages you to bring your bike inside and park in the lumber section. Nice folks, too."
Minh replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"I'll just mention places that told me to take my bike back outside:
Walgreens, the Subway on Kedzie/Diversey, random 7-Eleven's throughout the city."
Sue Clark replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"The Walgreens on Barry/Halsted has let me use their drive-up window as a bike-up window.
REI has let me park inside rather than use the outside rack on a very snowy day."
Julie Hochstadter replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"Wormhole!"
Anne Alt replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"When I've tried to bike through at a drive-up lane and gotten resistance (McDonald's, some banks), I've asked why. The answer I've always gotten is liability, which sounds like b.s. to me. Also, at some drive-ups,…"
Joe Guzzardo replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"Hmmm, they're probably afraid of liability issues but if Dunkin' Donuts is cool with that, then I don't know. Can you find another bank? Maybe we should sue them or have Critical mass target PNC branches."
Anika replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"Bike through - I like it.
I dislike that PNC will not let me bike thru at any location. And their walk up window at the Western/Fullerton branch is rarely open. I am a small business owner that goes nearly daily to the bank and the amount of time I…"
Joe Guzzardo replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"Brilliant! Instead of a Drive Through, how about a Bike Through? Maybe we could come up with a logo like what you see on cans of tuna that state they are Dolphin safe. Our logo would be "Bike Friendly" or something along that line that…"
Manny FU...Really!? replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"I think that I will go to Home Depot on Western & 47th to see if they will extend the same graciousness that they seem to extend to all of you on here.
Wish me luck !"
Manny FU...Really!? replied to Jamie Elenbaas's discussion 'Let's highlight bike friendly businesses here.'"I have been there on several occasions (the first is the reason i keep going back).
I went there looking for some shoe covers for this winter, not realizing that I had just pedalled from the SW side (Archer & Pulaski area) and had passed several…"
