VG’s

I just sent the following to VG’s via their contact form. It’s a bit over the top, and I’m not really a cyclist, but I would like bike racks there. As it’s only ~1 mile from my house, there’s no reason why I shouldn’t be able to ride up there when needing to pick up something small.

Hello,

I live not far from your store in Shelby Township, located at 22 Mile and Schoenherr. I regularly ride past the store on a bicycle, and I'd love to stop and pick up groceries, but I haven't seen anywhere to secure my bike. That is, no bike racks around the store.

If I just haven't noticed them, could you tell me where they are located? Or, if there aren't any bike racks, would you please consider installing secure bike racks somewhere along the front of the store so that cyclists like myself can secure a bike while shopping?

Thanks very much!

      Worst case I guess I can just lock it to one of the shopping cart holders. But still…

      Hmm, it’s actually at 23 Mile and Schoenherr.

      Oh, and within the two mile circle? Pretty much just the grocery store I mentioned, and a couple of strip malls, mostly without anything interesting at them, and definitely without bike racks. There’s a couple restaurants, but they too don’t have any place to put a bike. All of the non-residential roads are 45MPH or 50MPH, and I simply won’t ride on those. There’s (not used by pedestrian) sidewalks for a fair amount of it, but… not much.

    We should bike on some trails this spring sometime.

      Sure. There’s loads of them around here.
