I think there's a lot going for McDonald's as a bike stop.
Some mixed views in the Friday's Cambridge night ride thread, so rather than hijack that here's a thread for anyone wanting to praise - or slate - McD's.
My experiences have been mostly positive.
Leaving aside the food for a moment, the staff are usually welcoming, no problem with using the toilet even if you don't buy anything, and the same goes for the wi-fi.
Most of the McD's I've been to have enough street furniture outside to lock the bike, and part of it is usually under cover.
The coffee is cheap and good.
Some of the cold pop drinks are a bit variable.
I'm partial to Diet Coke, but usually have something else in McDonald's.
Even though it's supposed the be the Real Thing, it doesn't always taste like it.
The food menu is ever-expanding, but I've only tried the more traditional stuff.
Not mad keen on the burgers, they do a job if needed.
I genuinely like the breakfast McMuffins.
Not tried much of the sweet stuff, although I did have a donut once which was nice enough.
On balance, I'm lovin' it - what are your thoughts on McDonald's?
