One day last summer along the MONON, I came across several men helping another man who obviously toasted his bike and they were trying to convince him to get help as they'd found him unconcious when they came across him. He reeked of alcohol and as much as admitted to only having a "couple" at a local bar right off the MONON in Broad Ripple. He wasn't wearing a helmet so he had a head injury. I don't know what else came of him, but the guys at least got him convinced into them taking him HOME instead of him trying to ride the rest of the way.
I had some baby wipes that I'd carried with me and offered to let them help clean the road rash off him [face and shoulders] HeMan started fussing, "That's gonna hurt like hell" It didn't even have alcohol in it but he definitely did.

Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

Sometimes those cyclists are folks who've lost their license to drive due to DUIs. Have bike, will travel, will crash bike.

You can get a DUI for biking drunk and public intoxication for walking drunk. My friends and I were once "pulled over" by bicycle cops while walking home from the bar. They claimed one of us staggered but I don' t think so. I'm not really sure what you're supposed to do if you're not allowed to walk home after drinking ???

NM is the same way - a bike is a vehicle, if you're drunk on a bike it's a DUI. as for the car dui's that now have to ride - there is a guy I pass about once a week riding his bike home from the grocery store, no helmet, no lights, disregarding traffic laws, toting a 12-pack of beer under 1 arm. *shakes head*...will they never learn?Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Maybe his gene pool will get snuffed out someday. The cops need to ticket him.
