Discounts on Thursdays for males and females who bike!

1. Where and how to get discounts

• Discounts are between 10 and 50 percent off the total tab; some exclude alcohol. Discounts are for males and females, locals and visitors, and are on Thursdays year-round (morning, afternoon, and night, til 12 a.m.), with some date restrictions.
• Click here for Listings and FAQs–where and how to get discounts.
• As noted on Listings and FAQs page, how to get Hotel/lodging discounts works differently than for all other places. Click here for “How and Where to Get a Lodging Discount.”
• Most listings include “bike-there” tips too, making the listings helpful any day of the week.
