I sent this to Wendy's restaurant today, I just thought I would share:
"I would first like to say that i have been a Wendy's restaurant customer for the past 15 years. The first Wendy's I can remember going to was in Grand Forks North Dakota when I was stationed there in the Air Force when I worked on our fleet of B-52 bombers that was protecting us from the threat from the USSR at the time. Wendy's has always been my first choice of hamburger restaurants until today. i will no longer purchase anything from any of your restaurants. And I will be letting the world know why on my blog.
Today, I was out on a bike ride with my 7 year old son when we decided that we could use a snack and some refreshments. We pulled up into the drive through on our bikes at the Wendy's restaurant on Franklin Blvd. in Eugene Oregon and waited our turn. When we got up to order we were told that we would not be served and that we would have to go inside to be served. Well the last time I looked a bicycle is a vehicle by state of Oregon law. I told them that they had lost my business and I received no response. I rode with my son 2 blocks to a Dutch brother's coffee hut and was gladly served snacks and refreshments at the drive through.
Maybe they didn't like the tie die shirt I was wearing I don't know but you no longer are getting any of my business and I will be posting this letter for the world to see.
Oh and by the way you can't leave feedback on your web site so I tracked down your email addresses to contact your management team directly."
I found the email addresses to the who Wendy's management team and sent a copy to each of them.

Isn't is supposed to be a drive through? Aren't you driving a bike? If they'll serve those in cars only, then maybe they put it in detail. :)
That is basically my point. The law treats my bike the same as a car when it come to the law of the road. What if rode in on a motorcycle? Would I be treated differently then? Why would they deny me service either way? I live in a university town that is very bike friendly with paths all over the place. As a matter of fact this Wendy's is just down the street from the University of Oregon that will be hosting the Olympic trials next year.
