Drunk bicycling. Yes, it exists.
Just ask this man, Jeffrey Burke, who was arrested for it. He chose not to drink and drive on July 4. Rather, he hopped on his bicycle. A commendable effort. Still not the smartest, but at the very least, commendable.
However, according to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a bicycle is a vehicle, thus a DUI is applicable. Sure enough, Mr. Burke got into an accident.
Now, Mr. Burke didn’t cause the accident — he was hit by a driver who got a ticket for, yes, careless driving — but he was still arrested.
Funny, I don’t really consider it driving a bike.
So a word of warning — wherever you are, stay put. Two wheels or four.
