Biking drunk on a fixed-gear bike: The Aftermath

Monday, 28 Jul 2008

35mph to 0mph in about 1 second. My ribs don’t look much different.

Life Lessons Learned:

1. Tequila works as an anti-septic if you have no other form of strong alcohol available (IMO vodka is better for cleaning wounds — burns a bit less) and are too injured to go to the 24 hour Riteaid to purchase a proper anti-septic.

2. The downside is that you will probably not be able to stomach drinking tequila after masochistically dowsing your wounds in it.  In fact, I would say this experience is just like drinking too much tequila, getting sick, and then subsequently not being able to drink tequila for weeks or months.
