Biker through drivethru illegal?

**ready4whatever** · 29th July 2009, 15:43

Is it? dont see why, but when i went through the b.k drivethru on my bicycle i asked for my b.k chickenburger and got told the cops are coming and I ended up hiding on top of repco (in Tauranga) [crazy!]

would the same be for a motorcycle? dont see why you'd want to eat your burger while riding but you might want to.. somehow?

I've gone through the drive thru on my bike plenty of times, never had an issue yet, don't see why they'd threaten that the police were on the way. Are you particularly shifty looking?

You can walk through the drive thru if you really want.. that's been done many times before without any issues besides the occasional snigger...

i have done it on push bike adn motorbike, never had any issues,

Me and my mate went through the McDonalds drive thru on our pushbikes and they told us to go into the shop if we want anything. My mate works at another McDonalds and he asked his boss why pushbikes aren't allowed in the drive thru. Something to do with safety and ACC or some bullshit like that.

U sure they weren't just having a laugh?
Weren't carrying an ak47 or anything?

Thats really weird...

SEVERAL times while pissed me and mates ave walked thru drive thru's making engine noises and beeping as much as we can... Even had a drunk couple making out in the back seat for good measure one time...

Well, some branches state that they're open 24 hours while really it's only the drive thru that is, as far as I know all McDonalds indoors bit close at 12am. After that, they're not exactly going to turn down a sale..

Though that mention of the safety thing makes sense...

Interesting topic as I usually get the munchies after a nice long ride.

I've tried the pushbike and walking through scenarios and they didn't work - but a motorcycle I have yet to try!

**ready4whatever** · 29th July 2009, 15:54

this was at night time too, might look worse than during the day

Pretty sure all the local ones refuse to serve anyone on foot or bicycle, Though I'd imagine you would need to argue the point for them to involve the police.

As for a motorbike?

Never tried, It would be about a billion times easier to crab a park and walk in.

I know of no law that says it is illegal to ride through a drive through. However it is private property, and as such if they tell you to piss off you have to, otherwise you could be charged with trespass.

I would guess you pissed them off pretty bad if they called the cops on you.

Wouldn't you need one of these though?

IIRC, it's something to do with OSH - if you're wandering around and get hit by a car, they'll get hammered.

Wendy's in Lynfield has a sign saying they will refuse to serve people on foot.
