No but they can leave them in the door way instead of forcing a path round shops that are just not big enough for them.

Nice to be given a reason - not allowed to bring my bike in thd house no reason provided.

To be fair though, I don't think it's reasonable to take a bike into a shop. Pushchairs may be an equivalent nuisance but you can't realistically expect a mother to chain her baby and pushchair up outside, but you can a bike
People with kids in pushchairs spend shedsloads of money in supermarkets. They're not going to be turned away, although I did once work in a cafe in York which had a pushchair ban. I think my boss just didn't like the clutter.

My local Sainsbury's was built a few years ago with a smart row of Sheffield stands outside. They get used as trolley return points.

What about my dog, by your reckoning can I take her into the shop

I think it's perfectly reasonable for shops to ban bikes if they feel that they would obstruct other shoppers, but "hygiene" is a bit of a stretch. There's probably a lot more dog poo on the wheels of kids' buggies than there is on the wheels of bikes.

A wee bit of dirt and germs never did nobody no harm

Certainly if my personal experience is anything to go by, the germs on the hands of a number of males would be far worse than my bike's tyres. So many times have I heard a flush and then seen an individual leave a cubicle and then straight out of the door without even a nod to the washing facilities.

Do you need to wash your hands after a line of coke then?
