Ride CT & Ride New England Serving New England, NYC and The Hudson Valley!
Dealers who serve beer and other alcoholic beverages during on-site events are looked upon unfavorably by more than 70 percent of riders, results of latest RIDE-CT & RIDE-New England poll reveal.
While most dealers don’t ever serve alcohol, a few actively engage in the practice and heavily promote their boozefests. Some set drink limits that exceed what would be considered legally intoxicated.
A total of 38.61 percent of those casting ballots say dealers who make booze available are “irresponsible.” An additional 33 percent say dealers who do so are downright “nuts,” making a total of 71.61 percent of those voting disapprove of dealers serving alcohol.
Fewer than 30 percent of riders – 28.38 percent to be exact – approve of the practice of dealers becoming publicans and say it’s not an issue.
The poll ran from July 28 through this morning. Turnout set a record with more than 300 votes being cast by readers. The website’s polls are non-scientific, but do give a sense of rider attitudes. They are conducted for fun and out of curiosity.
