On receiving said child's meal with hamburger and Spiderman toy, I received a little gift of my own. I never dreamed I would see this printed on the side of a Burger King food bag-
Say what you want about fast food and what it does to us all. A company that makes huge profits out of drive-thrus, whose entire history is wrapped around the American car mythology, is telling people to stop driving and start riding a bike!
Things are changing! In places we would never expect.
Good lord! We are often too fast to poo-poo what we would see as 'greenwash' and jumping on the environment bandwagon, but if this kind of message is getting out there to 'the masses' (or at least Burger Kind customers!) this can only be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted.
weird, this was on my brain lately-
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about riding to see a movie recently and was wondering about where to lock up- does the Daly City parking garage have bike racks?
I should make a list of sf cineplexes that have racks...
a friend of mine won't go to the Metreon on bike because of a theft incident..
Glad you shared this find! I guess if I start craving fast food BK is the best of the worst. :) Movies by bike -- sounds like a fun Saturday.
ReplyDeleteSo....does the BK allow bikes in the "Drive Through" lane? It's been a bone of contention on numerous occasions, for myself and others. Val
ReplyDeleteApparently Wells Fargo has bike-thru ATMs in some locations. Yes, things are changing... :-)
ReplyDeleteslowly but surely.
ReplyDeleteMark- I am with you. If you are going to print something on the bag, anyway, why not something like this?
ReplyDeleteEl Tejano- We park on the cages around the trees in front of the theater, but there are large bike racks in the Southern parking lot (other side of Starbuck's) My husband will not park at the Metreon, either.
Trisha- I hate fast food, but I was super happy to see this!
Anon- no idea on the drive-thru, but I hate drive-thrus anyway. I would much rather go in.
