Michael Smothers reports reports on the very progressive [/sarcasm] East Peoria hiking/biking trail in today’s Journal Star:
If the weather cooperates next New Year’s Eve, revelers from Morton who choose to celebrate the occasion at a tavern here won’t need a designated driver: They can bicycle home.
At least there will be a hiking/biking trail providing that option….
All I can say is, bring out the camera crews. Watching a bunch of drunken, bicycling bar patrons would be funny enough, but watching them try to ride uphill all the way to Morton in the dark at 2 a.m. on New Year’s Day should be a real hoot!
File that one under What Were They Thinking??
I saw that article, wondered “What the ….?” and figured you’d have a post on it.
Will the PPD seize on this article to try to revive the Kellar Branch trail by touting drunken biking over driving?
I think I would “almost” pay to see this.

Makes about as much sense as their other arguments. Speaking of which, did anyone notice the article about Mercury Sports Group in Tuesday’s paper? They’re doing well and are on the verge of doing quite well in 2007, however, nothing was mentioned about how they might have to move out of town if the Rock Island Trail isn’t extended through town.
Dude, drunken biking is fun. I certainly know. And what better place to do it than on a trail, where one is less inclined to swerve in front of oncoming traffic.
I’m pretty sure the NJ barrier island where I did much of my drunken biking during my two summers in residence actually gave out tickets for drunken biking. It’s more dangerous than you might think. Getting hit by a drunken cyclist hurts too. Fatal, no. Sorta dangerous, yes. Funny, you bet your ass!
