Streetfilms: Bike-thru banking has arrived

October 10, 2008 · Print This Article

If you tend to take your bike for light-duty errands around town, thereupon you’ve probably been through at least one drive-thru banking experience on two wheels. I have, and I can say from experience that it feels just a bit awkward. Especially when there are humans waiting in a car behind you, laughing and throwing things. Well, here’s some good news for bikers in Boulder, you no longer have to wait in a line of scornful motorists, considering you’ve got your own bike-thru banking lane!

Pueblo Bank and Trust in Boulder, Colorado has set up

a sweet new lane equipped with a bike rack, a water cooler, and even a trash can. And get that, it’s actually too narrow for a car to squeeze through. They’ve apparently been offering that lane for a while now, but only recently did the guys at Streetfilms find out about it. Major props are in order for Pueblo Bank and Trust for pioneering the bike-banking model. Who knows? whether the auto market keeps slipping, we might be seeing a lot more of these.
