Comedy star threatened with arrest after bringing folding bike into McDonald's

The sight and smell of the shite McDonalds serve up as "food" causes me upset and distress, I wonder if I can call the police and get the f**kers arrested?

I must've missed the bit in the Highway Code where it says "you won't get served via a Maccy D's drive through whilst on a pedal cycle".

with the Drive-Thru incident RosPA made it clear they had not been consulted

He was threatened with arrest as his jokes are so bad.

I would have swallowed my principles and gone into a McDs just to see McMuffin the Mule shit himself on their floor. Priceless.

Maybe he got the frites when he thought he could end up between two bits of bread.

McDs clearly hate cyclists. No skin off my nose as I can safely say there is nothing they serve under the title "food" that I would consider eating which is probably a good thing.

Bear in mind that the first point at which you are told that it's unsafe to cycle through a McD's drive thru is after you've cycled through it.

"She was refused service in the drive thru in Whitefield, so led the animal into the main restaurant where it defacated on the floor."

I could have lunch at McDonald's at least once in my life just to see that.

It's a pupetttttt!

I'm surprised at this as I thought Macdonalds welcomed sporty types in their restaurants seeing as most of their customers seem to be wearing tracksuits when they visit. Maybe they haven't all come straight from the gym after all...

Brian Conley and McDonalds are about as funny as each other.

A few years ago we were working overnight in Canary Wharf. About 2 o'clock in the morning we got hungry and as the MacDonalds by Billingsgate fish market was the only place open we went there.

The drive-through was open but the restaurant was closed and neither of the vehicles we were in could negotiate the drive-through.

Not to be outwitted, 2 crane operators, 3 slingers and a crane supervisor proceeded on foot (and in a formation roughly equating to a driver and 5 passengers) through the drive-through making car noises and all the relevant actions such winding down the window, hand-brake etc.

They served us!

Never tried to cycle though a drive thru, but on several occasions when MTBing or just road cycling on very grubby mucky days I have gone into McDs for coffee etc (only establishment available) & trailed no end of mud & water behind me. Staff never batted an eyelid.

my bicycle is my mobility device, watch out wheelchair users the Golden Arches don't want you there

The Drive through thing actually isn't safe for bicycles or indeed motorcycles. (They aren't meant to serve motorbikes either)

I only know this as I was involved in the design of the Costa's and the lighting and sight lines are quite different as a result.

The newer McDonalds are actually safe, but I think they have a problem in that they want to apply the rules across all sites.

Remember McDonalds gets sued over coffee that's too hot, so are probably wary about getting sued as some one wobbles off one handed holding their greasy luke warm bag of junk calories and gets run over by a van.

McDonald's does not like people cycling (or riding their horse or pony for that matter).

They deliberately design their restaurants only for motor vehicles: McDonald’s drive-thru not open to people on bicycles

If you're after a coffee and light snack, Costa gladly will serve you, as the CEO confirms: A first with Costa Coffee drive-thru

Doubtless the customers were "upset" by the horse poo on the floor when they realised they couldn't tell the difference between that and what they were eating.

Or, perhaps the horse shat itself because it thought it was going to end up on the menu.

Clearly horses also read the Urban Dictionary:

McShit
The act of using the public restroom in a fast food restaurant without purchasing any food. When challenged by a suspicious manager, the assurance of a subsequent purchase of said fast food is known as a "McShit with Lies".

All that place is fit for!

Have been vegetarian for 25 years so have not had a reason to visit but only reason I did ever go in there was that they sold root beer.

Their policy of not serving bicycles at their drive through is slightly headscratching but I am more concerned about how many KSIs are caused by their fleet of vehicles delivering their shit around the country, and how much pollution they dump into the environment.

Ah, they've craftily now changed the headline...

Lucky escape. Moral of this story - ride everywhere, you'll even eat better.

My local McDonalds regularly has MTBs parked inside, leaned up against the windows.

I can understand why one would find this annoying, but really McShit are doing us cyclists a favour by stopping us eating their filth.

Years ago I was refused drive-in service at the McDonalds on City Road in London, because I was on my bicycle. All I wanted was a veggie burger.

The staff refused to serve me and suggested I leave before they called their security service? I was polite throughout and pointed out I was using a legal, road-going vehicle (bicycle).

When I complained to McDonald's head office afterwards, they told me it was down to the individual franchise owner that operated that restaurant, and no further conversation would be entertained.
