Drinkers in Madison have a new best friend in Bender Defenders, a service that will drive you home in your own car when you have had too much to drink.
Bender Defenders, modeled after a similar business in London, hit the streets on folding motor scooters on Sept. 8. Rather than taking a cab home and retrieving their car in the morning, customers call Bender Defenders, and a driver arrives wearing a tuxedo T-shirt and riding a folding motorbike. The driver then collapses the scooter and puts it into the customer’s trunk or back seat before driving them home.
Once the customer is home, the driver will get back on his motorbike and ride to the next destination.
