Places To Stay

To help travelers find bicycle friendly lodging, I've decided to offer a directory of places to stay that offer at least two of the following criteria:

- Discounts to cyclists
- Temporary bicycle storage before, during OR after their stay (describe if covered or secure)
- Energy snacks OR bottled water before, during OR after their bike ride
- Bicycle washing facilities (can be as simple as a garden hose)
- Laundry washing facilities
- Bike/luggage transportation (such as to the next lodging on their route)
- Spa services on site (describe those that apply)
- Proximity to a bicycle path, lane or route

Lodging that meet 2 or more of the above qualifications will be promoted on RideTHISbike.com as bicycle friendly Places to Stay.

I'll consider including any lodging provider that qualifies, provided they use the list above to identify the specific criteria that apply to their accommodations. There is no cost to participate; however, (to prevent myself from being overwhelmed) I'm reserving the right to limit participation from lodging providers that I have not contacted.

If you know of anyone that may be interested in this offer, feel free to pass it along.

Respectfully,
Larry Lagarde
