Dear Cracker Barrel, please release the captive bikes.

[yoothgeye]

i've been in Cracker Barrel so much;
i acctually stopped paying attention
to the bicycle hanging. i know one
of the C.B.'s we stop @ , has a mens frame cycle .
will be on the lookout now. :mrgreen:

If it wasn't for my job, I wouldn't have a cell phone, but since I do I will use it to capture lousy images of CB bikes. Join me! If you have no way for it to escape your phone onto your computer, PM me for my number, text it to me and we're golden.

I thought of this thread a few weeks ago when my mom visited. She and her bf drove down from NY and got hooked on CB's cheesy charm and so-so food! :lol: So, after 3 years of living here, we finally went to the local CB for dinner. ...And all they had was a repainted 60's girls' Huffy. I was disappoint! -Adam

 

[Rockit!]

Ugh tell me about it...I have some Yank friends who think CB's has THE BEST southern food......I just laugh at 'em! :wink:

People consider Cracker Barrel's food to be "southern"?!?!? A dollop of grits does not a plate of southern food make.

stopped by the CB with the mens frame.
chaingaurd read "SKYBOLT" .
couldn't see the headbadge;
due to lighting glare.

Oh I'm in. I'm not even going to eat there, just go in and snap pics. I wonder if they'll let me snap a camera pic? I know most places discourage it. Maybe I'll get my gf to go in too and tell them we don't have CB in my town and wanted a pic. Yoothgeye, if they won't let me I might have to hit you up with a cell pic. I'm in NC too so I might hit the one in Winston, then Mooresville, Huntersville, and Charlotte when I go that way to visit.

 

[ozzmonaut]

I just found out about 4 more locations that I will drive by when I go to Charlotte. Jonesville,Statesville, and 2 in Concord.I'll have to start an album. I'm on vacation so I should be going before Saturday.

 

[ozzmonaut]

Cmon Rockit! Get that statesville location before I get it. I'll have to see if Budeebro1 can get the Hickory location for us.

 

[Rockit!]

Haha that's all you :mrgreen: Any updates on the upcoming bike show??

That's a Murray Skybolt, just like my build off bike, so it's mid 70s, not as old as most of their other bikes and antiques.

If you haven't been in one before, the bikes are over the gift shop and they are set up almost like a tourist trap, so they don't care at all about photos being taken. If you want to send me a picture text message my number is two five two 678 3021.

 

[ozzmonaut]

@yooth, I've been in them but it was a long time ago. I remembered that the gift shop is always the first part you go into, and that everything is overpriced. @Rockit, the Reidsville show is Sept. 17th. Mount Airy is October 23rd

If you look back a few posts, Hickory has a repainted red Huffy middleweight. Definitely not worth going out of your way for! There are some nice ones along 85/40 though! -Adam

Haha, he came to my parent's church last year, we drove up to see him, he was great. Being that we're in the south, he didn't do this part of his routine. haha

 

[Rat Rod]

They hired him to do our staff Christmas party three years ago and we couldn't go because my wife was due with our 3rd kiddo at the time.

He's coming in December to a church about a mile from my house so we'll probably go see him live then.

He's worth seeing, especially if you get free tickets. There was a family beside us who didn't seem too happy about "The Government Can" song, haha.

 

[Rat Rod]

Ha Ha...I love that song...along with the Chick-Fil-A song...two of my favorites. :lol:
