It would be interesting to discuss drive-thrus.
When it comes to drive-thrus, I believe that drive-thrus should also allow cyclists to use them.
Ever since the pandemic hit, I must admit that I used the drive-thru at the McDonalds on Dufferin just south of Glencairn. I don't drive. I used its drive-thru as a cyclist. Guess what? There was no incident and I was served, just like motorists who use drive-thrus. If motorcyclists are obviously served in drive-thrus, then there should not be any reason to prohibit cyclists. More drive-thrus should allow cyclists to use them. After all, bicycles are vehicles, albeit those that are pedal-powered and don't require a license or insurance to use.
Here's an interesting blog entry from a cyclist in St. Paul, MN who was refused service for using a Burger King's drive-thru while riding a bicycle:
In 2018, Portland, OR passed an ordinance that allows pedestrians and cyclists to use drive-thrus if all other public entrances are closed.
