A Bike Thru Window Coming To a Cafe Near You?
Richard Takemoto at the always informative and hip urban place making blog Cool Town Studios tells us about a hangout for bike riders called the Little Red Bike Cafe (A Third Place for Bicyclists, May 12, 2008). The cafe is a genuine third place and boasts lots of bike parking, discounts for bike riders, bike themed food, bike pumps, repair kits and get this, a bike thru pick-up window (pictured here). How fun is that? Of course this wonderful little cafe is located in America's most bike friendly city Portland, Oregon. How long until we get a cafe with a bike thru here?
