Default What makes a bicycle-safe drive-up window?

may have said:

I'd start by finding out what safety concerns (presumably driven by
specific insurance requirements) lead drive-up windows to outlaw
bicycles in the first place.


I have heard a rumor that one burger chain banned bikes in the DT lane
after getting units held up by armed pedallers twice, but that may be
apocryphal. (Bikes not having a tag to be recorded by the security
cam, they might be leery of a late-night cyclist.)

IMO, the biggest hazard in the DT lane is the idjit in the Suburban
behind you who's fishing in his pockets for his wallet while yakking
on the cell phone as he pulls forward in the lane. You're in a
no-escape location while waiting in that lane, and if the attention of
the fool behind you lapses, it could get ugly in a hurry.
