Cyclists turned away

[jeremyd]

Waterfall Estate pushes the fact that it has 37km of mtb trails. A new shopping centre has opened up next to the estate. On Sunday morning at 9am, my wife and daughter rode to the shopping centre for breakfast. They stopped at a new restaurant there called Remo's. As they were about to sit down, a lady who worked there politely told them that they do not serve people dressed in cycling kit. At first my wife thought she was kidding, however, they were in fact deadly serious.

 

There were only 3 or 4 people sitting there. My take is, if that's the way you want to roll, I'm going to tell everyone I know not to go there. If you open up next to an estate with mtb trails, surely you encourage the clientele or am I being overly sensitive?

I've never heard of this.

Strange.

 

They do however reserve the right to turn anyone away.

Tjops.... thanks for the heads up... where is their facebook page to ask them that question?

If that was me I would start to take the kit off...see how they like that. On a serious note, do they have a dress code?

I hear some places won't let you in if you're not wearing a jacket and a tie! What is the world coming to?

Looked on their website. They do have a dress code, smart casual, so I suppose our bad for not checking up first. I suppose they have the right to turn anyone away. No vest or peaks after 6pm as well. I wonder if short pants constitutes smart casual or must one wear longs to a Sunday breakfast. Guess I'm not going to bother to find out.

Maybe organise a mass breakie ride there this weekend. That'll teach them

It is a very slippery slope - smart casual means nothing anymore. Are they going to serve models in skintight clothing? Screw them ...in a public manner.

Checked out their website. Looks like the typical snob shop.

Get some smart casual cycling gear. Oh wait. It is kinda smart and very casual.... Seems like a fit to me

Thats just stupid, have they not seen what all the magazines write? "cycling is the new golf". So they are turning away people that are in big business, will spend lots of money there (if the food is good) and will possibly return... all because they in "casual" attire. Come on people need to wake up.

 

This isn't in a fancy hotel or country club, its a shopping centre, nothing smart casual about it.
