Cycling and drinking, should we do it

[slowmotion]

The trouble is most cyclists drink that god-awful northern beer stuff getting turned on by the stupid names they all have. A proper cyclist only drinks lager preferably served in a reassuringly expensive bar.

No, and nor have we had this:

That's a lack of ambition.

Think big like this:

Has The Daily Mail picked up on this thread yet?

Saw this today just up from my billet, really nice bike too...

 

[GrumpyGregry]

the reasons car drivers cannot drive whilst over the limit (I am aware that some do) is because their judgement is affected to a point where it is unsafe for them to be in control of their vehicle, surely this rule by default should also apply to cyclists.

Is it so hard to understand that the high level of sanctions pished drivers face is due to the risk they represent to other road users?

Just like the sanctions for pished cyclists are lower because they represent lower risk to others. It is all about kinetic energy you see.

So yes, pished cyclists fine. Slightly merry drivers not fine.

Don't bother.

I dunno . An argument is an intellectual process. I think that was just contradiction

What you are basically saying is its ok for cyclists to drink to the point where they are over the limit then cycle on a public highway

Which is repeating what you said yourself....

having a "couple" is fine, I've done it myself

....but a "couple" would put most people over the limit.

i think we have exhausted this subject now, thanks for everyones input, its been interesting.

what limit ? the zero limit for airline pilots (certianlu) or 80mg drunk driving limit for cars (quite likely) or the drunk in charge limit which apllies to cycling (doubt it), or drunk and incapable.limit for pedestrians (don't be daft)

Rules sound pretty sensible and proportionate to me
