Part of me wonders if drive-thru's at fast food joints would follow suit.

But then again a bike only lane at a Starbucks or some other coffee house might garner a lot of business for someone.

I've picked up prescriptions at one suburban Walgreens a couple of times. There was no indication from the pharmacy assistant that there was anything wrong or unusual about a bike in the drive-through lane.

The manager of the local Starbucks in my small south suburb forbade me from riding my bike through the  drive through lane citing safety concerns.  I had been going through the drive through 2 or 3 times a week for maybe 6 weeks before they told me to stop.  Oddly enough, the driver in front of me that day paid for my coffee.  Yay Walgreens!  Boo Starbucks!
