I've walked into quite a few food stores and such with my bike. Weird look from customers but nothing from the employees. When i go to classes (start again in september) I bring my bike with me in to class. I get questioned a lot about that. My response: "once this school gets a bike rack, I won't bring my bike in here".

That is how un bike friendly my area is, the local community college dosn't even have a bike rack...
