Whole Foods Market bans customers who ride pedicabs to shop, dine

from a fellow pedicabber on Reddit.  Happened yesterday (Friday, October 5, 2012):

"I got kicked out of Whole Foods today, mid-sandwich, because I had ridden and parked my pedicab there. Way to be, Whole Foods, way to be... (self.Austin)"

Well, it just so happens that the Bicycle Austin webmaster (me) also has an article listing Whole Foods' various misdeeds.  Guess it's time to update the article.
