Border Patrol Catches Drug "Pedalers"

From the newswire. . . Last month U.S. Border Patrol agents nabbed two Mexicans smuggling bundles of marijuana as they tried to sneak into the States carrying the contraband on heavily loaded bicycles.

They proceeded to load the bikes with the contraband, and set off down a darkened farm road, where they were soon arrested.

The Border Patrol found that the two men had more than 110 pounds of pot stuffed into their panniers, with a street value of $88,000. Gives new meaning to the term "dope pedaling," doesn't it?
