Bennie Dikwiel Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 This thread is intended for you to list the establishments where cyclists were made aware that they or their bicycles were not welcome. Where possible please give details ie Place, Date, Time, Names so where the establishments would like to comment or attempt to rectify, they could do so. My 1st as follows:Place: Beacon Island - PlettDate: 3 April 2011 @ 14H30Staff: Porter "Benji"Manager: "Abraham Jansen" My wife, a friend and I arrived after doing the Harkerville route (it was a dry day) and wanted to sit outside on the patio to have lunch. We were refused access with 1 bike and were told to leave it down below with the access security. I said that I was scared it was going to be stolen and said that I would prefer to take it around to the grass where we will be sitting. We were told by "Benji" the porter that this is not possible. We asked to see the manager and without greeting or introduction "Abraham Jansen" the duty manager confirmed that the bike was not allowed to be pushed to the grass outside by the patio. Without any alternative and being made quite aware that we were not welcome, we left hungry. Shame on you Beacon Island!We as cyclist are not human sub-species and our bicycles do not carry diseases.
Stevief Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Dude get a life they said you can keep it with the security downstairs. Thats where they keep all the guests bicycles. Its a hotel not a vida why should they have their lawn littered with bikes because you SCARED it will get stolen. If you bothered to look at the way the store the bikes you wouldve enjoyed your lunch and the bike wouldve been fine, so stop being SCARED and wake up before you start naming and shaming.
Eugene Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Why go to places that don't want you? Go somewhere else. They tried to accomodate you by allowing you to leave the bike with security. I think that is pretty reasonable.
