You don't say exactly which part of East Fumbuck Egypt you must live in.

Here in Oregon we have the businesses totally browbeaten into submission. I use the drive through at the bank, Starbucks, and Rite-Aid.

At the grocery store, I just dismount and walk the thing through the aisles. Hey, it weighs less than a grocery cart, takes up less floor space, and has brakes. I just take it nice and slow and make sure to be very polite, smiling, and yield to all the little old ladies.

This thing about not allowing bikes at drive-through's is so 1970's.

I told them the price of my bike and that I wasn't going to leave it outside to walk in to the bank. They told me I could bring it in and park it in the lobby.

I think that is a bad idea. I wouldn't be asked to park my motorcycle in the lobby so I wouldn't come through the drive-thru.

Crazy.
