| Jones Oklahoma - East-side Conoco - BikeBuddiesOKC.org is
working directly with the owner and management. Our plan is to do
whatever it takes to alleviate the burden on the Sak-N-Go caused by the
high bicyclist traffic in the area. On Labor Day, there were bicycles
blocking customer's access to the gas pumps and to the entrances of the
store and the Subway Deli. A couple of cyclists went inside a metal
building used to smoke meats and urinated. The problem was sufficient to
cause the manager to call the police. We have suggested that
BikeBuddiesOKC.org provide material and labor to install a bike rack at
the edge of the parking lot, signage for the front of the building to
direct cyclists to use the rack, a sign on or near the rack asking
cyclists to adhere to a "Cyclist's Code of Conduct" and two
picnic tables anchored under the shade of a large tree so cyclists won't be as inclined to collect around the
front doors of the building. The owner, manager and employees of the
Sak-N-Go have been very hospitable and are enthusiastic about working
with us to remedy the situation. We must remember that we are guests as well as
customers and do everything we can to remain welcome.
We have met with the general manager, discussed the
construction details and have the go-ahead to proceed with this project.
