Abstract
To examine the effects of alcohol regarding the fitness required to ride a bicycle, practical cycling tests, accompanied by medical examinations, were carried out at different blood alcohol concentrations. Seventy-eight persons were included in the trials (41 males, 37 females). Eighty-three evaluable trials were obtained. Men committed less coordinative driving faults with comparable blood alcohol concentrations. Single highly alcoholized men were able to safely ride their bicycle; however, each of the female test persons had at least one severe driving fault at blood alcohol levels above 1.43 g/kg. Women tended to exhibit signs of alcoholization in the medical examination reports earlier than men.
