Video: McBike – McDonald’s drive thru packaging for cyclists

some people really are arseholes.

I worked at a McDs as a kid, and although the content of the raw food was never visible to me, I can vouch for the hygiene and processes in the branch. People used to go on about the frankenstein stuff such as suggesting the eggs were not eggs but an egg-flavoured powder when I'd spent half the morning cracking and scrambling the things, etc. You'd get a few kids coming in looking to just cut corners and assuming we spat in the burgers and whatever but they never lasted beyond the probationary period. I'd eat the breakfast still.

Wonder how long the drink will last given the potholes on our roads?

I occasionally get a mcdonald's breakfast after work, my local one have no problems with me taking my bike in there, although I've never tried it when it's busy.

At the Chorley GP earlier this year, I tried to use the local McD Drive-Thru for a coffee, but they had to refuse me on health & safety grounds and then asked if I could come in and buy it over the counter. As I didn't have a lock, they sent a member of staff out to mind my bike whilst I bought the drink. Bike was still there when I came out, coffee was good, so not bad service really.

I think KFC should steal their packaging idea and use it for all not just cyclist's how many times have people had a close escape with their Pepsi max? Also KFC tastes better lol.

I haven't had a McD in years, but last time I tried cycling through the drive-thru (sic) they refused to serve me on a bike for "health and safety reasons". Not sure whether that referred to the food or what.

Don't drink tea
Don't drink coffee

in civilised countries with proper infrastructure, it's not just fit young and middle-aged men who ride bikes

No high horse here, I just don't like them.

Garbage in, Garbage out. Can't imagine why anyone would ever want to eat there!!

Ok, fire away.....

While out to watch the Women's Tour on Saturday I "popped" into McD's to get a coffee. It took 20 minutes, despite there being only a handful of punters in front of me.

Don't forget Mike Hall cycled round the world eating pretty much only McDonalds.

At 7 am in Forfar recently after 10 hours in the saddle I was pleased to see a McDonald's. They have their place.

I wonder if you can fit a sausage & egg McMuffin with a hash brown in there along with your coffee?!

As someone else pointed out in the Brian Conley incident, by the time they tell you that, you are already at the window ...... and then guess how you'd leave?

I wonder how many cyclists you'd need going round in a continuous loop to constantly occupy the drive-thru lane? ....

I'd prefer cyclists to take gel wrappers home...

If you want cycling to be a normal, acceptable, everyday part of peoples lives, then this is a step in that direction. Of course it doesn't suit the po-faced cyclists who look down on everyone else, but then again little does....

I knew one of the first comments would be some pious "ooh, but it's dirty food" milksoppery.

Turn it it. Some people eat McDonalds, even some healthy people eat McDonalds.

Christ what next, cup holders for bikes?

Wow that is the slowest cadence I have ever seen, incredible.

I'm not sure if they understand their market here? If you can physically ride a bike, you probably don't eat at McDonald's.
