so, you have to pay 35-40 bucks to do the same thing for we do for free?*
I'd rather not have corporate sponsorship, and have more fun instead.

From my point of view the words "enjoy" and "McDonalds" don't belong in the same sentence.

I had my 5th birthday party at McDonald's and have the pictures to prove it.

I'm honestly surprised that people still eat mc donalds.
I'm only accepting sponsorship from Tecate or Jameson Irish Whiskey! All others need not apply

but really, How do they know they are going to get 10,000 riders to participate? Oh, "Up to 10,000" so there is a limit.
Before careful of that McDonalds coffee, it still brewing as they serve it to you, but you like it hot.
I think I want to put on an after Midnight ride where I charge you all $35-40 for my favorite non-profit, "ME" and my beer buddies.

what's wrong with McDonald's?
I grew up eating there, and still do.
If we are what we eat, then I'm fast, cheap, easy, and yummy.

I read they're going to corral the riders to their nearest burger processing plant, and Big Mac fans are going to eat them. We all know Big Mac fans hate bikers and drive SUVs. Plus it's Chicago, and it's a big car town.

This is bullshit! They stole the concept of the Spoke(n) Art ride.
Instead of me leading the ride, they put Ronald - but a clown is a clown. Chicago wil be hearing from my Larry H Parker.
This is like the LACBC's ice cream ride - pay $$ to do something you can achieve for the cost of ice cream at the liquor store. Whadda waste.
All those "cyclists" are surely going to ridetheir bikes on all the other days to come, right? Or will they still need Ronald McDonald to sponsor their morning commutes?
