I would value a thread like this.

 

But maybe a change of title to "Cyclist friendly establishments" (positive spin?) that recommends lekker eateries or accommodation that welcomes cyclists...

less clutter than in my garage. Easier to get the bike out the door, rather than up and over the car, round the boxes, past the pram while avoiding the dog and getting covered in lube oil marks. Simple really.

It would make a good publication

 

There is a book called Pet Friendly Estab.

Our house in Scarborough was on the cover one year

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 - Plett

Date: 3 April 2011 @ 14H30

Staff: 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.

 

I don’t agree!

 

Stayed at the hotel for 10 days last year and had no issues. They have a good facility to store your bike in the basement, locked up with a name tag. There is also a security station right next to the lockup. You sign in and out for your bike at any time of the day.

When I was there, the room was literally packed with bikes and there were no issues.

 

Why should the hotel change their rule for one person, when they have a good enough facility available?
