A “drunk” bicycle is an attraction in which a person, for a symbolic sum, is offered to travel a short distance on a vehicle that obeys the steering wheel exactly the opposite: when turning left, the wheel goes to the right, and if you want to straighten the bike by turning right, it goes to the left. And, given that such entertainment is distributed quite actively, this business area is quite profitable.
Business concept
A bicycle becomes so “drunk” or “stubborn” after a small modernization, as a result of which the work of the steering wheel and wheel is connected in the opposite way. Moreover, this system of operation is so unusual that it is extremely difficult to ride the device without falling or touching the ground with your feet. This is what is used in attractions that first appeared in resort towns. For a small amount you can win ten times more if you master this unit.
The main attraction is that in order to become a winner in single combat with this means of entertainment, you need to advance only 3-5 m. Basic conditions:
- the stated distance must be covered without touching the ground with your feet;
- It is mandatory to hold the steering wheel with your hands;
- There are only three attempts for this feat.
From time to time, stirring up the public's interest, the attraction's administrator, who has already gotten used to the bicycle, shows by his own example that covering some 3-5 m is a completely feasible task.
At the same time, in modern conditions prizes of 500-1000 rubles are already offered. And there are quite a few people trying to cope with this stubborn miracle of technology, so in the summer the attraction brings considerable profit to its owners.
If in resort towns, especially during the season, many people - potential participants in the attraction - gather on the embankment, then in ordinary cities the ideal time for it is weekends and weekdays from 17:00 to 23:00. At this time there are a lot of gambling young people walking on the street, but it is not yet the time for the often aggressive night revelers.
What will be required for implementation?
To run a business you will need bicycles. It is better to buy not used and more attractive ones. To operate, the vehicle must be upgraded to a suitable version, that is, to “drunk” or “stubborn”. It is also recommended to purchase a small portable sign to describe the conditions of the attraction.
Step-by-step launch instructions
- Make sure that in your city/town there are parks, squares, squares, and free areas in shopping centers that are not occupied by competitors that are suitable for such an attraction.
- Register an individual entrepreneur using the simplified taxation system - a simplified taxation system.
- Agree on the location of the attraction with the administration of parks/shopping centers/city - depending on where you plan to be located.
- Order signs with a picture of a bicycle and the rules of the attraction.
- Buy one or several bicycles - it is better to be as versatile as possible.
- Convert them to “drunk” mode yourself or with the help of a specialist.
- Hire employees who will support the operation of the attraction in shifts, having previously mastered riding this modernized vehicle. It is necessary to conclude a liability agreement with each of them.
- Start work and check all the nuances in the process.
Financial calculations
Starting capital
Let's look at the initial investments in the table. 5 personnel are being considered, since at the point the work is carried out by two people in shifts, and once a week, in different days, it makes sense for the owner to work on each of them in order to be aware of the average revenue in a particular season.
| Direction of expenses | Quantity | Price, rub. | Cost, rub. |
| Registration of individual entrepreneur | 1 | 800 | 800 |
| Purchase of bicycles | 3 | 5100 | 15 300 |
| Bicycle Upgrades | 3 | 1 500 | 4 500 |
| Transport costs | 4 000 | ||
| Renting places | 3 | 4 500 | 13 500 |
| Staff | 5 | 12 000 | 60 000 |
| Advertising and other expenses | 3 | 2 500 | 7 500 |
| Total: | 105 600 | ||
This amount will cover the first month of operation of the attraction in three public places in the city.
Monthly expenses
In each subsequent month, transportation costs, rent payments and wages will remain, plus 2,000 rubles. for unexpected expenses, that is, 4,000 + 13,500 + 60,000 + 2,000 = 79,500 rubles.
How much can you earn?
If on average 25 people try their hand at the attraction per day, paying 100 rubles each, then the daily revenue at one point will be 2,500 rubles, at three – 7,500 rubles. Monthly revenue (taking into account rainy days) will be 20 * 7,500 = 150,000 rubles.
Gross monthly profit will be 150,000-79,500 = 70,500 rubles. Less 15% income tax according to the simplified tax system net profit per month it will work out 59,925 rubles.
Payback period
Let's calculate the payback period by simply dividing the amount of starting capital by the amount of monthly net profit: 105,600/59,925 = 1.7 months. Thus, your investment will pay off in the second month after starting work.
Risks and disadvantages of business
- the most obvious disadvantage of such a thing is seasonality. Your profit will directly depend on weather conditions;
- enough difficult to track, Is all the proceeds donated by employees?. Here, the optimal method of control would be the owner’s periodic visit to each of the points in order to get an idea of the average revenue. In the example under consideration, the owner is young enough and can work himself, but an older person can simply supervise the work of his employee without replacing him.
- injury hazard. Already on advertising stands it makes sense to indicate the age limit of 12+ and the ban on trying to ride a bicycle while intoxicated. It is also necessary to protect the participants of the attraction from falls;
- it is difficult to maintain the popularity of the attraction, since in fact it is almost impossible to ride this bike even three meters without preliminary training, the public can lose interest in such transport very quickly. But in this case, the bikes can always be remounted back to their classic versions and sold. Taking into account the comparative novelty and very quick payback of the attraction, the risk of not making money is minimal, if not zero.
Bottom line
So, a “drunk” (stubborn) bicycle is a fun seasonal attraction that pays for itself very quickly due to its novelty and the low cost of a package of 3 attempts. At the same time, a business on it can provide an opportunity to earn money not only for the owner, but also for high school students and full-time students, without interrupting their studies. With proper registration of a legal entity, as well as relations with employees and owners of territories providing them for temporary use, the risks are minimal, and the profit is significant enough to try to introduce this entertainment in your city, if no one has guessed it yet.
In order to answer the questions posed in detail, you must first define the concepts. According to the rules traffic, a bicycle is a vehicle that has at least two wheels and is driven, usually by the muscular energy of the persons on the vehicle, in particular by means of pedals or handles. Persons driving a bicycle are classified as drivers, are endowed with appropriate rights and bear certain responsibilities.
Violation of traffic rules by a cyclist is recognized as an administrative offense (administrative offense) in accordance with Part 2 of Art. 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of eight hundred rubles.
Violation of traffic rules by a cyclist in a state of intoxication (Part 3 of Article 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one to one and a half thousand rubles.
Thus, already in the article itself, the state of intoxication is recognized as a qualifying (in fact, aggravating) circumstance, therefore the court has no right not to recognize the state of intoxication as a qualifying circumstance.
As for scooters, roller skates, skateboards or longboards, they are not recognized as vehicles, so the persons using them are not drivers by definition. This does not mean that they are exempt from any responsibility. Persons using scooters, roller skates, skateboards or longboards are considered other road users and bear administrative responsibility for violating traffic rules that result in obstruction of traffic. vehicles(Part 1 of Article 12.30 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). At the same time, the state of intoxication as a qualifying circumstance, as provided for cyclists, is not enshrined in this article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
However, in administrative legislation, the commission of any administrative offense while intoxicated is recognized as a circumstance aggravating administrative liability as a general norm ( general rule), although the court may not recognize it as such. Judicial practice shows that, as a rule, the court does not make exceptions and recognizes the state of intoxication as a circumstance that aggravates the punishment for committing any administrative offense. It seems that the court will take into account the state of intoxication, for example, of a skateboarder as an aggravating circumstance.
Now let's look at cases of hitting a pedestrian and causing harm to his health. Much depends on the consequences that occur. If, as a result of the collision, serious harm was caused to the health of the victim, then the actions of the cyclist (skateboarder) amount to a crime and he will be prosecuted.
Currently, the state of alcoholic intoxication does not appear in the list of circumstances aggravating punishment for committing a crime, although the court may recognize it as such in a specific criminal case.
In other words, the resolution of the issue is left to the discretion of the court. It seems that the likelihood of recognizing intoxication as an aggravating circumstance in this case is quite high. If, as a result of the collision, slight or moderate harm to health is caused, then the drunken cyclist (skateboarder) will be brought not to criminal, but to administrative liability. In this case, the cyclist will be liable under Art. 12.24, and the skateboarder - under Part 2 of Art. 12.30 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In these articles, the state of intoxication is not provided for as an aggravating circumstance. However, as stated above, in administrative legislation the state of intoxication in itself is an aggravating circumstance.
To summarize, we can conclude that driving a bicycle, scooter, roller skates, skateboard or longboard while intoxicated and hitting a pedestrian will most likely be considered an aggravating circumstance.
Today in Russia, representatives of the law are actively fighting against drunk drivers of vehicles. Alcohol on the roads causes large number road accidents, often with fatal Therefore, every year, preventive measures are being tightened in the form of increasing fines, imprisonment, and in some cases, imprisonment.
With the arrival of warm weather, the roads are filled with many two-wheeled vehicles, including bicycles. Of course, in case of violations, closer attention from the traffic police officers is paid to motorists. But what if the culprit of the accident is, for example, a drunk cyclist. There is no way to avoid liability in this case, because, even in the absence of serious claims against cyclists, everyone who leaves or goes onto the road is obliged to follow the traffic rules.
To the question, is it possible to ride a bicycle drunk, the clear answer is no. Even if you are outside the roadway, there is still a risk of running into a pedestrian, because cyclists have every right to use pedestrian paths in certain cases, because the issue has not been resolved in all cities. Riding a bicycle while drunk will not bring any good to the cyclist or those around him. And it’s not even a matter of speed, although modern bikes can accelerate no worse than a moped. A bicycle in itself is not the safest transport, and driving it while drunk will even increase the risk of possible harm, to yourself or to others. Most likely, even the cyclist himself will be a victim, unlike the situation with a drunk motorist.
Preventive measures applied by the law of the Russian Federation
In many developed countries, drunk driving is punished with large sums, which are equivalent to car fines, driving licenses for other vehicles are deprived, and if an accident occurs due to the fault of a drunk cyclist, they can even be sent to prison. In Russia, cyclists are treated more humanely; the applicable fines are not as severe as for motorists. The traffic police inspector has the right to draw up a protocol and prohibit a drunk driver from riding a bicycle, so he will have to continue on foot. But in the event of a tragedy, of course, the situation that occurred is always taken into account; both the cyclist and the pedestrian can be held criminally liable. Here it is up to the court to consider the circumstances and decide whether to give a term or not.
So, from the point of view of the law, taking into account the amendments that are regularly updated to the Russian Federation Traffic Regulations (traffic rules) and the Russian Administrative Offenses Code (Code of Administrative Offences), a cyclist should not drive a vehicle while drunk. Let's take a closer look at what punishment is coming for such a violation of the rules if you are caught drunk driving a bicycle by representatives of the law.
By definition, a bicycle is a vehicle, and a cyclist is its driver. The law states that under the influence of alcohol, drug intoxication or any other state due to which the driver may endanger himself or other road users on the road, he cannot take control (clause 2.7 of the Russian Traffic Regulations).
The Code of Administrative Offenses on this occasion warns that driving while intoxicated due to alcohol or another substance, or handing over the steering wheel to people who are in it, entails inevitable subsequent consequences, the minimum of which will be a fine of thirty thousand rubles with confiscation of the driver’s license for a specified period from one and a half to two years. For subsequent offenses, the punishment is much more severe. But Article 12 excludes cyclists from this category, since it means vehicles with an engine capacity of 50 cubic centimeters or more and a speed of 50 km/h.
It is not yet assumed that you have a license for a bicycle; we do not take into account high-speed models, because some bikes can easily overtake a moped, and a cycling enthusiast may, in principle, not have any driver’s license, but you should not neglect studying the traffic rules and following the rules.
The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation has issued a separate preventive measure for cyclists. According to Article 12.29, any crime related to violation of traffic rules is punishable by a fine of eight hundred rubles. The next paragraph of the article reveals the consequences of a violation under the influence of alcohol. And here the fine amount ranges from one to one and a half thousand rubles.
Conclusions
While under the influence of alcohol, drugs or various psychotropic drugs, a cyclist will inevitably violate traffic rules, for which he will receive an appropriate punishment. And if, based on the driver’s behavior, a representative of the law has identified a violation, he will check the degree of intoxication, deprive the driver of the opportunity to drive the vehicle and fine him.
And also, having noticed a hint of the driver’s drunkenness, the traffic police officer may ask to undergo a medical examination in order to check the alcohol content in more detail. Of course, no one can be forced to conduct an examination. Here lies the disagreement with the observance of legal rules and the rights of citizens. However, in case of refusal of a medical examination, a fine is also imposed.
That is, if it is not obvious to a cyclist that he has been drinking, he is unlikely to be stopped by an inspector. Moreover, today attention to this category of drivers is not so close. But this does not mean that you cannot get what you deserve, even if you are absolutely sober. And when a tragedy occurs due to the fault of a drunken traffic participant, the punitive measures will be much harsher than if the culprit were sober. The court verdict can be made more strictly, because alcohol intoxication can be regarded as an aggravating circumstance, which is completely justified and fair. It is very likely that a drunken culprit will be prosecuted.
Alcohol and any vehicle are a priori incompatible, a bicycle cannot be an exception. You should not balance on the brink of the law, because first of all it is aimed not at the flow of funds into the state treasury, but at human safety. The line between where you have not yet broken the law and when you have already gone beyond it is very thin, and it is only a matter of time before cyclists are required to have a driver’s license. Due to inadequate citizens who ride drunk and break the rules, the process of introducing a category of bicycle rights will most likely accelerate. Apparently, there are all the prerequisites for innovation, since the law is constantly being amended and the day is not long when cyclists will be required to take full responsibility for their actions, as is required of motorists.
A bicycle with just one difference, thanks to which the idea of it completely changes. When you turn the steering wheel to the right, the wheel turns to the left, and vice versa.
Difficult, but possible
Indeed, you can drive it, but if you sit down for the first time, you won’t be able to go far. Riding confidently takes practice. This is what makes drunk biking so much fun.
How to use?
Important: We do NOT provide prizes, we only rent out drunk bikes.
Many of us have seen drunk bike on vacation: animators stand on the embankments and invite everyone to ride, drive 5 meters and receive a prize for it. Now all this is available at your holiday event.

Everyone knows: you should never drive a car while intoxicated. They won't jail you, but they will deprive you of your rights. They will also issue a large fine. What happens if a traffic cop catches you drunk on a bicycle?
What does this have to do with rights? We don’t yet need “crusts” for our bicycles...
Many people believe that you can ride a bicycle anywhere, any way and in any condition. And if any sanctions can be imposed on a bicycle driver, then only if he drove out onto the road, hit someone or scratched the bumper of a parked car. And in general, if a bicycle does not have a state sign, it is not considered a vehicle. And you don't need rights to it. That's true. And not quite like that...
In paragraph 1.2 of the traffic rules it is written in black and white that a bicycle is a vehicle (except wheelchairs). It also says that the bicycle “may also have an electric motor with a rated maximum continuous load power not exceeding 0.25 kW, which is automatically switched off at speeds exceeding 25 km/h.”
Some of our citizens, familiar with traffic rules, get behind the wheel of a bicycle while intoxicated, mistakenly believing that Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation applies to it, which states that under the vehicle<…>should be understood as a motor vehicle with a displacement of an internal combustion engine of more than 50 cubic centimeters or a maximum electric motor power of more than 4 kilowatts and a maximum design speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour...” In their opinion, since a bicycle cannot reach such a speed, then the articles of Chapter 12 “Administrative offenses in the field of traffic” do not apply to it.
We will not dissuade them from this. Let us cite a case from the practice of the Supreme Court, in which the owner of a two-wheeled bicycle with a motor lost his license after driving drunk. On the road he was stopped by the traffic police, examined for intoxication, after which he was removed from control and a report was drawn up. As a result, the cyclist was brought to administrative responsibility under Part 1 of Article 12.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (“Driving a vehicle by a driver who is intoxicated”). And this, as you remember, is a fine of 30 thousand rubles and deprivation of rights for a long time.
The cyclist categorically disagreed with the decision of the magistrate, considering that he was driving it cannot be considered a vehicle (according to the Note to Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). And if he really violated, then under Part 3 of Article 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which specifically talks about violations Traffic rules for cyclists while intoxicated. This is punishable by a fine of one to one and a half thousand rubles.
The unlucky cyclist reached the Supreme Court, but it did not meet him halfway. Moreover, the highest court agreed that driving a motorized bicycle while intoxicated should be qualified under Article 12.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and punishable by deprivation of a driver's license and a fine if this bicycle meets the characteristics of a moped, in particular, has an internal combustion engine or can reach a speed of more than 25 km/h".
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation recalled: The note to Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation refers exclusively to the application of this article, and not to the entire Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. This is the first thing. Secondly, this bike equipped with a 48 cc internal combustion engine. That is, it does not apply to bicycles at all - in the understanding of traffic rules and Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. But it perfectly fits the definition of a “moped”, which is a two- or three-wheeled mechanical vehicle, the maximum design speed of which does not exceed 50 km/h, with an engine – namely internal combustion – with a working volume of no more than 50 cubic meters. cm, rated maximum power from 0.25 to 4 kW.
Was there drunk driving? Was. Was there a moped (according to traffic regulations)? Was. Therefore, drunken driving took place on a moped, which requires a category “M” driver’s license to operate, and the moped itself is a vehicle that is subject to Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Here’s how it turns out: I got on a bike, but my driver’s license was still taken away...
Conclusion
Russian legislation includes regulations against drunk cyclists. It is spelled out in Article 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. After its use, a bicycle driver detained while intoxicated can be fined by a state traffic inspector in the amount of one thousand to one thousand five hundred rubles.
If you attach a motor to a bicycle or buy a finished product with a motor, you should carefully read the traffic regulations and find out what category of vehicles it belongs to. If it turns out that a bike with a motor falls under the “moped” category, in this case the entire range of punishments specified in Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation may be applied to the “rider”. It seems so!
