P.S. I hate the word "thru" it should be "through" but I gave up that battle 35 years ago.

Years ago, I was in the drive-thru line behind a guy in a large motorized wheelchair. They served him. I just thought it was amusing.

Here is a cut/paste from google, which is not always correct but this time it's accurate:
Can you go through a drive thru on a bicycle?
You can, but you are unlikely to get any food. And you may be charged with trespassing. Very few restaurants will serve someone on foot or a bike at their drive thru windows. Whether they think this is for the safety of you, or their employees, or their other customers, is immaterial.

This went on for what seemed like an eternity and other customers could see that I was in distress and it seemed everyone there wanted this idiot to just get her damn drink and move on.
A friend of mine was told by his bank that he could not ride his bike to the drive through window. He went inside and told the manager that he would be withdrawing his family trust and moving it to another institution. Suddenly the drive through was ok for bikes.

I have only been through one in a car once. (Wendy's) That was way back in '89 or '90 in Pittsburgh with my GF at the time. Late night stop for burgers in a red Karmen Ghia convertible. I had previously used the same one on my bike. I have used drive-through ATMs while on a bike a couple of times. No one cared.

In other news, this may be difficult to believe, but I've been getting the run-around from the witch doctor's office. DougRNS

There's a lot of disinformation going around, IRL, on the internets, but I'm not falling for it.

Ordinarily I would say why would I even want to go through a Drive-Thru if I am on a bike. But in pandemic times, if I want to get a meal or food it may be "safer" from a contagion perspective to go through a Drive-Thru rather than go inside.
P.S. I hate the word "thru" it should be "through" but I gave up that battle 35 years ago.

How confident are you in quick links? I've never used them on road bikes except for emergency repairs. I'm also neglectful of drivetrain maintenance, except for lubing the chain, and tend to let everything get trashed before I replace anything. Plus, I break things, but usually not chains.
I ask because I need to shorten the chain on my Campagnolo equipped bike. I bought a used crankset in September and the shop installed it for me along with a new chain I had and it has shifted like crap and dropped the chain ever since. I just realized the chain is too long when trying to diagnose the bad performance. I don't have a Campagnolo chain tool or an extra pin and was thinking of just using a quick link to shorten it.
Is there a specific quick link for Campagnolo chains? Anyone know if I can put my old 10 speed rings on an 11 speed Chorus crankset? The bcd is the same and they look similar. Instead of spending $100 for a big ring I thought I would try the old one from the cracked crankset and see how it works before dropping more dough into the thing.

Wouldn't that be. Interesting that the northeast states are high on the list.
