Many people are taking the message to heart and leaving their cars at home or designating a non-drinking driver. Still others find alternate means of transportation, such as a bicycle. Cyclists who drink may think they re safer than being in a car. But research shows that s not necessarily the case. Maintaining balance on a bike can be difficult - even for a sober rider.
Alcohol still impairs judgement and reaction time.
And if a drunk biker sustains injuries, emergency personnel not only have to deal with the trauma but also the unknown effects of alcohol on treatments and recovery. Speak with your doctor if you have questions about Drunk Biking, or any medical problem.
