One of Crisi's and my favorite times together is our Sunday bike ride. Today, we joined up with Jacob, Bingham, and Angie for a decent 16 1/2 mile ride on the Greenway, stopping periodically to water up. While talking with Crisi about how hungry we were at the end of the ride, I brainstormed a great idea that I have no idea how to make come true.
See, people on the Greenway get hungry, but there is only one restaurant accessible by bike path: Sal y Limon, the new gringo Mexican joint that replaced Fiesta Acapulco (no, I don't consider Dodge's Chicken a restaurant.) I propose that the restaurant offer a discount to people who travel by bike, similar to what the Red Rose (RIP) used to do. Sal y Limon would probably get more business, and I would get a Speedy Gonzales for under $4. Win win!
Come to think of it, most businesses should offer discounts to those of us who don't want to drive. We are saving space in their parking lots. Make it happen, Murfreesboro. Let's incentivize bike travel!
(I know this is preaching to the choir. Can anyone help me with this?)
