Tumbleweed Posted May 21, 2008 Share and i rode home from the pub after the footie last night? from afp?BERLIN - If you thought cycling home after the pub was a good idea, think again. A German court ruled Wednesday that inebriated cyclists could forfeit their right to drive a car.The country's highest administrative court was ruling on the case of a man near Berlin whose licence was taken away after he was caught cycling with a blood-alcohol level four times the legal limit. Drunken German cyclists could face driving ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pirate Posted May 22, 2008 Share Done it once when I was a student at the Technicon Pretoria, not a good idea. Had to stop twice to clear the stomach. One of the worst training rides of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowracer Posted May 22, 2008 Share buying drinks is a pleasure when wearing a cycling shirt. 6 bottles at the back, and some more in your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted May 23, 2008 Share ever seem the great footage of the old tours where they open the caps of bottles - coke, beer, water - on the stems of their bikes? my local is exactly 303m from my house. there is no traffic at night as it's in quite a sleepy 'burb. i ride the fixie to the pub, which means i don't go too fast! haha!

Tumbleweed Posted May 23, 2008 Share actually, just after i bought the bike last year, i took my first trip up there, clipped in and all. i lost it on the way home and ended up in a flowerbed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 23, 2008 Share getting into your "one with nature" phase, were you? Must say, i had the same problem when i first bought clipless. Except my off was into the flowers on the central divider on a main road! Was helluva fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
