A room right off the bike path


Bikes, hotels, and strong drink. A recipe for disaster -- or at least deep moral depravity.

This fellow's only real crime appears to have been riding his bike down the motel hallway and running over a couple of, er, pedestrians.


Police reported that the man was wearing nothing but a pair of swimming trunks as he was zipping down the hallway of the Best Western Soldiers Field Tower and Suites... the man hit a 76-year old Michigan man, and his 33-year old son. Police Lt. John Edwards said that the son went after the bicycle man, tackled him and held him until the police arrived. The man might be charged with assault and indecent exposure.


Last time we checked, it was perfectly legal to ride a bike in nothing but a swimsuit. In Minnesota in November, we call that stupid. But lots of stupid things are perfectly legal.
