They Put the Brakes on Her Dinner
August 27, 2009
Environmentalist Sarah Gilbert of Portland, Oregon rides around her bike-friendly town on a custom built bike that holds her and her three sons. She even sports a bumper sticker touting “one less minivan”. But her joyride stopped short when Burgerville would not allow her to use their drive-through. She found this surprising because the restaurant is known to be eco-friendly and Portland sports nearly 10 times more bike commuters than the national average. She immediately went home and sent a tweet to her 3,000 followers and posted to her blog. Jeff Harvey, CEO of the burger chain, would like Sarah’s input on a bike-friendly alternative.
A Portland cyclist was denied the drive-through
As a blogger and tweeter, she knew what to do
What really made her chafe
Was being told it’s unsafe
She’ll now be part of a bike-friendly debut
