first drunk ride
 

first drunk ride tonite - only fall down 2 times...once because i was about to rear end a jetta. no blood, no frame/wheel damage, no lawsuits, no law enforcement guys. i consider it victory.

my first drunk ride involved me flipping over a camoflaged raise manhole cover and summersalting through a park

The first night I rode to a party was in February, and an ice storm hit somewhere between 8pm-3am. Riding home I fell so many times, I lost track. I kept slipping on the ice. Funny thing, before I left I stole 3 beers and slid them into the pockets of my Carhart, and by the time I got home, I was wearing all of the beers as a nice beer slushie

I find that when you are moving, you've got inertia on your side so I am not afraid of falling down. The last time I rode home really drunk, I fell down after I got off my bike. I was really having trouble walking straight.

Only in this forum....gotta love it.

But, officer...I was too drunk to walk. I had to ride."

And that, folks, is why we have the Darwin Awards.

i agree. i'm ok once i'm on the bike. usually mounting is more of a problem, especially in heels.

The old, retired Italian guys here have it mastered...they bar hop almost all day and ride their bikes everywhere.

that's because Italians rule.

I ate it on a railroad track last Friday two hours after one beer. Now I have skills.

First drunk ride: going down Bleeker, I think "WTF is that jingling noise?!" I look down and my house keys/bike lock key are dangling from my lock. Had they fallen out I would have been locked out of the house and stuck with a chain around my waist.

I like to go to the local pub and put a big downpayment on a buzz then go for a ride through the city.
I have a flask of Crown Royal mounted to my downtube if I need to make installments.

Enjoy

I woke up one morning after drinking hard. Did inventory, bike, jacket, wallet (no money), phone, keys. My bike was laying on its side right by the front door. I thought someone gave me a ride, but apparently I rode it home. A buddy administered a bike riding sobriety test and said I fell a bunch, but when I took off down the street, I seemed to be obeying the traffic laws. I had a couple random bruises but I can't decide if those were from the ride or if I got loose in the pit (which I don't remember either). If you can't remember it, it didn't happen. I don't advocate drunk riding, but its better than drunk driving.

then just don't remember it and drunk bike all you want :D

my general drinking and riding rule.

3 beers - best idea ever
10 beers - worst idea ever

you better believe it.

The bassist from a band I was in a while ago, and notorious sneaks out with his keys driver while drunk, was without a car for a few weeks. Before practice on evening he confesses to me that he is very sore having fallen down 4 or 5 times riding his bike home.

I say: "Well, I guess its a good think you weren't driving."

He, and this goes down as one of the more frightening moments of my life, responds with complete sincerity- and no, I am not making this up.

"well no, I have never fallen off of my car on the way home."

I decided there was no reasonable response to that.

wow - Milwaukee and Honore. July 15, 2002. My first BUI warning. Ahhh...jack and cokes can bend them spokes when drafting off a car.
A police car...
That I rear-ended...
But claimed they stopped too fast, and some kids attested to...
So I got a warning...
And bent front wheel...

First time i got drunk I was in gr 7 out in the woods where we always had a bomb fire goin anyways me n my buddy split a pint of vodka drinkin it straight. I got wasted and dropped my calculator watch in the fire, on the bike ride home on our bmxs everytime a car came my freind pushed me into the ditch so I wouldnt swerve into the road. Freinds like that are for life. Im still drinkin and still biking things never change

one of my buddies put beer in my water bottle when i wasn't paying attention. i like beer, but when you are expecting to taste water and you don't.... :eek:

7th grade, eh?

HAHA. halarious.
I find for the most part that hopping on my bike normally sobbers me up though. more or less. getting home normally doesn't seem that hard, but by the time I crash into my bed the room is still officially spinning.

i don't remember my first drunken ride... not because i was that hammered, but because it's too long ago...

my last drunken ride was in december... i ended up in the hospital and i haven't been able to ride since...
there will be a long celebratory drunken ride when i can get back on the bike...

if it's not too painful to recount would you tell us what happened?
