McD encourages cycling... but not in drive-thru

McDonald's may be trying to chang their image and encouraging customers to exercise, even selling McKids bicycles, but don't try and ride that bicycle through a McDonald's drive-thru. A UK couple who tried to bike through the drive-thru were turned away. They were told that only insured vehicles are allowed. [Portsmouth Today]

I tried biking through a drive-thru in Minneapolis waiting for a light rail train on Minnehaha Avenue. It was a Sunday and there is a 30 minute wait between trains.

The ever-intelligent manager insisted that I had no right biking through. If I rode on a motorized vehcile, he could serve me. Otherwise, sorry, I would have to rent a car or vehicle solely to order food.

How ridiculous. The main part of the store was closed and I only wanted a shake.

The next day I spoke with the store manager. She stated that it is commmon policy in the insurance industry to not cover non-motorized patrons who are in drive-thru. Therefore, customers should beware stepping foot in a drive-thru area - as these stores will not cover if you are run over by another patron.
