Today I went to Mc Donalds on a bicycle. The store has no bike rack so I went through the drive thru. They refused to serve me from the drive thru. My question is can I sue Mc Donalds if I leave my bike outside the store and it's stolen?

They wouldn't serve me because they said it was dangerous. There were no other customers at the drive thru when I was there.

If there is nothing to lock the bike to having a lock won't help. One can just lift a bike and put it into a car if its not locked to something.

I just called the McD's I was at and they said they have a bike rack next to their dumpsters. Who would I contact to have them move it somewhere where one can at least watch the rack to make sure you don't get ripped off?

LOL Proof that they refused to serve me is they refused to take my order. BTW my bike wasn't stolen because I didn't go in the store because they didn't have a bike rack next to the store and I didn't think to look by the dumpsters.

I also have the right as a consumer to not buy their product because they refuse to sell it in a manner that I could buy it. Mc Donald's food sucks anyway. This is only the 2nd time I've been there in a year or so. I won't go there again.

Why would any business be liable for the theft of any form of transportation while a customer was in their store? Lets look at this logically. Instead of them refusing to allow you to go through the drive through because you were on a bike, lets say they had blocked the drive through for a delivery!
If you parked your car outside and it was stolen, would you blame the business? Of course not! The same with a motorcycle, bicycle, or skateboard!
A business has the right to set rules. Mc Donald's has the right to limit drive through service to cars and light trucks! You have choices too! You could have locked your bike to a secure object! No business is required to provide bike racks, and if they do, leaving a bike there is at your own risk!!

It has been a long standing policy that McDonald's drive through is just what it is a drive Through. It is not a walk-up or ride-up window. If you get hit in a drive Through you not only endanger yourself but the people in the car coming through. Most if not all McDonald's have bike racks unless they are located in a shopping mall.

I worked at drive through and we where never allowed to serve people unless they where in a car. It's jus safety for the employees. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to sue them b/c they don't have a bike rack... Don't you have a bike lock?

I really wouldn't think so...McDonald's aren't the ones that stole your bike and you have no proof that they refused to serve you or that you actualy left your bike outside

If they don`t have a bike rack, you probably could.
I really don`t know for sure.
I wonder why they woulden`t serve you at the drive thru?

A bicycle is considered a vehicle, and I've personally seen bicycles go through a drive-thru. So yes, I think you can(and should) sue them.
