Bike Rack Appreciation
You don’t know how good you have it until you don’t. Finding a place to park a bike in downtown Columbia is so easy that cyclists may be genuinely surprised when they arrive at the local bank, convenience store, or DMV and there is no good place to lock a bike. Thank goodness for those businesses that know cyclists are customers too. In fact, why not thank them for their bike friendliness?
Share your appreciation with those who appreciate you. Write your own version of this sample letter and send it to your favorite bike friendly business.
Dear (Bike Friendly Business),
Thank you for recognizing the needs of cyclists and installing a bike rack at your place of business. In this car dominated world, it is a pleasure to have a safe, secure place to lock my bike. You have earned my respect and my business. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Just a sampling of some of the local businesses that have recently installed bike racks. Have a favorite spot? Contact us http://www.pednet.org/contact/ and we will add it to the list.
