Just looking out my window tonight to see the road workers picking up a bike off the road at the entrance to Stanley Park. Cops have been there a while but I haven't seen anything else; I'm assuming the rider has been taken away already. Couldn't tell the make of bike from my view but it looked to either be a naked. (not much plastic around)

-I hope this is just an expensive lesson and that no one is seriously hurt.

Take it easy out there, my wife's on call tonight and I really don't want her to have to tell someone their loved one just bit it on their bike!

Rider Okay

Just found out it was my buddy. He's okay, the bike is wrecked.

Good to hear he's okay. Too bad about the bike....

 

[navarcht]

That's good to hear he's alright. Does he want to share any details or lessons learned?

If not that's fine.

That sucks...so close to the end of the season too.

....and if he's blown over the legal limit, it's gonna be a very expensive lesson indeed.

He could try the arguememnt that he was in complete shock and doesn't even remember being asked to blow.

He could also try behaving in a remotely responsible fashion. It's a park, not a catchment area for retards who drink and drive (or ride).

That lesson would be that drinking and riding isn't exactly the best idea.

Ooh, not a good thing. Nor a good thing for someone to post on a public forum, either.

But I quoted it anyway because idiots who drive drunk should be punished as far as they possibly can (in BC that means they should get a *hard* slap on the wrist, I guess, before they go back to being premier). He should consider himself lucky that he didn't nail a pedestrian in that condition.
