Without attributing it as a cause in the chain of events, the article
noted that he and the pal had been DRINKING at BARS -- plural --
before deciding to ride with the cars, then deciding to turn back
after getting honked at!

Due to the construction which closed the pedestrian/bike path to them,
there was a gap in the floor which was barricaded by concrete
blocks...unfortunately, the "good kid" may have been so drunk that he
flipped over his handlebars downstairs!
