I don't know if they changed policies. Never had a policy, or what. But my bike was clean and dry, and they have wide aisles where I would not have been any more intrusive than people pushing around monster sized carts with awkward loads sticking out.

Well, strike another locally owned local business off the "bike friendly" list.
