"Some people ride bikes because they have DUIs, not because they are trying to save the planet or get in shape."

Chuck, on the topic of Nowhere Bar (via chuckhistory)

And I think that explains why 1 in 3 fatal bicycle accidents involve impairment due to alcohol:

ScienceDaily (Feb. 23, 2001) — Drinking alcohol and bicycling don’t mix well, say Johns Hopkins researchers, whose study of 466 Maryland bicyclists found that a third of fatally injured riders had elevated blood alcohol levels at the time of their accident. In addition, a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 grams per deciliter – the legal level of drunkenness in most states – was found to increase the rider’s risk of fatal or serious injury by 2,000 percent.
