Why do so many of us take a softer approach to pedalling drunk?

Look at poor Fruitbat. Decides to walk to Wests, leaves the pub, slips on an icy pavement and breaks 3 ribs. If he'd ridden his bike he would have been nowhere near the ice and would have been fine.

nope, the week before that he was riding his bike, stopped at some lights, guy rear ended him knocked him off then ran over the top of his bike and drove away, unlucky bastard ha!
