When I was at university, I used to ride my bicycle to the local 24hr Macdonalds after I finished work; around 12:30am, I’d arrive just before 1am.
After doing this for ~8 months, they must have changed the policy, I was no longer able to use the drive through. But the door was locked after 10pm, so no more late night snacks for me!
Tbf those rules came about due to it being a common avenue for robbery. The logic is that if you have a car at least we have your licence plate if you rob us, but if not you could get away with it easier.
I’m surprised they let you do it at all, must’ve been a while ago (or your area just recently got as bad as mine has been for years lol).
So a while ago, and Palmy has always had a significant student population, ideas like; you can get a free feed at maccas by going through the drive through and walking / biking off; tend to spread quickly.
Shit just get the food and roll your ass over to a parking spot and eat it there. I’ve on more than one occasion went to a drive thru, got food, parked, then ate the food either in the car (like a fat POS) or sitting outside the car (also like a fat POS, but with a different view)
Don’t even wait embrace your inner fat ass and start hogging itInn drive thru. You already stopped and have gloves off really we aren’t trying to hog Down more than a couple bigmacs right… What’s that like 2minutes.
Well I hate drive-throughs at the best of times but the idea of ordering food to toss into a sack makes me feel icky. Not even getting into fishing out my wallet while on the bike and then while the bike is running reaching out to take food, then letting go of the brake to flip my backback around…
Its just such a bad thought all the way around. I go into the place if riding my bike, if the place is closed its no food for me.
I am confused as to why we are pro drive though here. Why not “throw the stand down” and go inside like a real person and not some sort of car-person hybrid?
I have a magnetic tank bag. I’ve never gone through drive through because I ride with earplugs, but I have picked up food for my wife like I’m her personal Door Dash guy on my sport bike.

Not sure if motorbikes were allowed or not.

Urgh I hate even thinking of using a drive through on a motorcycle. What kinda monstrosity bike would even have anywhere to put the food.
Uh, how about a backpack? Saddlebags? Compartment under the seat? Wtf even is this comment.

I mean that’s what I do but his solution just seemed silly
Are sidecars out of style
I would hope if you are cool enough to have a side car you are not using the drive-though.

I lost a MP3 player (yes it was a while ago) from a tank mag mount and never trusted them again. Might have to re-evaluate now.
Still not using the drive-though while riding though. (I would rather walk-though)
