A soused Stuart man was jailed after deputies say he was engaged in an "obscene argument" with his bicycle, a recently released arrest affidavit states.
BialonRichardStanley.jpgMartin County Sheriff's deputies spied Richard Bialon, 68, around 4 a.m. Tuesday "yelling at his bicycle" in the parking lot of a Mobil gas station in the 3900 block of South Kanner Highway.
"Customers were coming to the Mobil and were very disturbed as to the yelling and obscene argument the defendant was having with his bicycle," the affidavit states.
The affidavit didn't specify what the argument was about or whether Bialon had accused the pedal-powered vehicle of wrongdoing.
Bialon, of the 5500 block of South Kanner Highway, had been imbibing all day and was described as "very intoxicated."
He was arrested on a misdemeanor disorderly intoxication charge and taken to jail.
This is actually kinda worrying for me because I've actually spent a good deal of time with my bicycle upside-down (or on the kickstand) while alternating between swearing profusely in multiple languages and trying to sweet talk it into cooperating with me.
Florida always seems to get the wierd ones...
