2. Your drunk biking ass falls over into traffic. The driver swerves to avoid you, and hits an oncomming car. All involved in the car accident are killed, and you have orphaned 3 children. Bravo.
Think about other people... jeezus.
Niether is smart, but if I had to chose, I'm riding my bike. But I'm likely doing it on the sidewalk, or maybe even walking the bike home.
