227.0. "Maybe they should add a "Ride-Through" window" by KIRK::JOHNSON (NOTES: Information for the MTV Generation) Sat Mar 07 1987 18:10

    In the middle of my ride this morning, I decided to pull into
    McDonalds to get something to drink.  I didn't want to go inside,
    so I just went through the drive-through lane.  They wouldn't
    serve me!  They claimed it was "dangerous" to ride a bike 
    through the drive-through.  
    
    Has anyone else had to put up with this nonsense?

227.1Insurance is the demonCURIE::HUPPERTMon Mar 09 1987 12:414
    It has happened to me several times.  Everyone sings the same tune;
    their insurance forbids it.

    It is dangerous; people are watching for LARGE objects that go
    "zoom-zoom", not slim little ones that go "zip-zip".  Similar to
    walking up to the window; you just are not as visible.

    	There, I found a use for a favorite word, and I know its spelled
    that way, cos I just looked it up.
    
    	What is ?   Riding for health/exercise and eating "THERE".

    
    	If they made a ride through lane some boo-ick drivin' bozo would
    try to squeeze through, and how would they ever back out, given the
    bumper tag games that people around here play ?   Oh yes, motorcycles.

    I have been refused help at bank drive-in windows too.  Something
    about not serving pedestrians.  One said that the boss was watching
    otherwise she would have helped?!?
