Boozy bikers

Researchers from the John Hopkins University in Baltimore tested 124 dead or seriously injured cyclists in Maryland, as well as testing passing riders for alchohol in roadside surveys.
According to these results, cyclists who had been drinking alcohol were six to 20 times more likely to have a serious accident. Team leader Dr Guohua Li, commented “Riding a bike requires a higher level of psychomotor skills and physical co-ordination than driving a car, so alcohol has an even stronger effect on cyclists than drivers.”
So don’t go thinking that riding home from the pub is a smart idea. Do yourself – and everbody else – a favour and walk. For a start it’s easier to eat a kebab when you’re on foot.
