Interesting. In FL it’s just vehicle. I rode with a cop friend one night and we picked up a DUI on a bike. She decided to drive him home rather than book him. But she made sure to tell him she could have taken him to jail for DUI. You don’t have to submit to a breathalizer in FL if you’re on a bike. And I don’t think you can lose your DL (if you have one).

Robert… Thanks for the clarification, and sorry to hear about your crash. Bummer. As you know, that squirrel business is a real danger on the MSU campus. Ever have one come exploding out of a trash bin at you — especially the one at the south entrance to PSU?

James, Yes, You can get a DUI on a bike.

Robert, ouch. I think road-crossing is an adrenaline sport for squirrels. I know quite a few people who have crashed badly because of them.

I had a pretty good bike wreck last week. I’m not sure if the squirrel was texting or not but he did seem kind of drunk as he sprinted towards my front wheel.

Then the SOB took off while I laid on the ground bleeding.
