DON’T
DRINK AND BIKE
It
may sound like a no-brainer, but riding your bicycle after a couple of
cocktails could land you in the hospital—or worse. A 12-year study at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in
Baltimore found that nearly one
fourth of bikers who suffered a fatal injury while riding were legally
drunk. Getting tipsy
impaired their motor skills, balance and attention to safety (only 5
percent wore a helmet!).
