I don't think anyone should blame them for the change! Oh, and one other update--the discount is, very understandably, no longer 50%. I don't think anyone should blame them for the change!

Sadly, I don't think it's going to help me much, but I could see doing a fun bakery and art tour that involved picking up a pastry at each stop! This is a wonderful initiative.

I've e-mailed them a suggestion that they offer, in addition to the <a href="http://www.streetsblog.org/2006/10/13/eyes-on-the-street-build-a-green-bakery/" rel="nofollow">great discount they already offer</a> to customers arriving by bike or board, also a discount to card-carrying members of Transportation Alternatives. It makes sense for their customers who ARE cyclists and boarders, but who who live too CLOSE to arrive by bike or board--they could flash their T.A. card instead. It would promote Transportation Alternatives, and, therefore, promote a greener, safer city, which I imagine is something the City Bakery people would be cool with. T.A. and City Bakery: have you two been hanging around at the same party, checking each other out, but not yet talking for some reason? City Bakery: offer a discount to T.A. members. Or if you're not looking at this, T.A.: go ahead. Go up and talk to her. Hooray to City Bakery/Birdbath.
