Cartersville Brewery - A little Respect Please!!

Generally since I am a cyclist I side for the rights of cyclists to use the roadway and be respected while on the road by non-cyclists, but there are times when cyclists absolutely make me equally as mad. Some cyclist have absolutely no respect for anything but their own pleasures as if the world should stop for them and allow them to break any rule or disrespect the rights of others. No wonder there are some non-cyclists that loathe us.

Now for what steams me today regarding the disrespect of a few that are about to ruin it for many of us.
We (cyclists) have been kindly warned again by the plant manager to respect their property.

Here is a note from plant management that was forwarded to me:

This past weekend we had truck traffic problems at shift change and employees had to wait for truck traffic to clear before entering the plant. We have a complaint that one of the bikers in an SUV with three bikes on the back cut across the grass to get by the trucks, while we had employees waiting to get to work. Can you please put out a note on the sites that you normally contact to ask that they respect our property?


Thank you,
Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.

This is not asking anything unreasonable is it? As a matter of fact I am shocked that anyone would even consider such antics. If someone were to intentionally and disrespectfully drive across my yard I am taking plate numbers and calling the authorities. Time and time again the management at the plant have endured cyclists and have been tremendously patient with us. How much longer will they endure us with these types of attitudes?

Please remember that parking at the brewery is a privilege given to us by plant management and it is a privilege that we can soon lose if respect for the property, on-going business flow and appreciation is not given. We need to remember that this is their property, not a state or city park, and that there is business going on that we do not need to disrupt in any manner. They also ask that you please go well off their property if you need to pee. They can view all of your actions with the security cameras.

Why not be respectful in all places?
