1 drink is too much on a bike. The amount of motor skills you have to employ riding a bike far surpasses what you use in a car, and even 1 drink will impair those responses. ---

Maturity comes with age and experience… That being said, why are we debating on my speed 😃 Everyone rides differently… Alcohol effects people differently… I would not have an issue riding after a beer. if I did not feel I was able to ride safe enough to survive, then I would have to buy an iced tea and hang around for a 1/2 hour… I don’t buy the whole motor skill thing… (after 1 beer that is) It’s not hard to ride a bike… It’s hard to watch out for all the people trying to kill you, and for shitty spots on the road than it is to get on and go. I would image it as an exponential curve. The more you drink, the more you risk. of course, i have not riden in 2 years, so what do I know… i know my bike was not safe enough for me to ride the way i was riding it… a family has a funny way of making you grow up real fast. (unless your the kind of ass hat who plays video games all nite and lets the wife raise the kids) ---

Just because you ride to a bar does not necessarily mean you drink. Some do and some don’t and it is their decision that sometimes affects others in not so nice circumstances. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ride-your-bike-to-a-bar/34866.md?page=1)
