"Yes, you can be charged with an Oregon DUII while riding your bicycle drunk. In Oregon it is illegal to drive a vehicle under the influence and bicycles are vehicles. It doesnt matter that most cyclists would say they ride their bikes rather than drive their bikes. If you are caught riding your bike while drunk you can be charged with Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants.
While there is nothing funny about being charged with a crime that may result in time in prison,hefty fines, and license suspension, DUII laws and new provisions and amendments to DUII laws have created awkward if not absurd results for those convicted of DUII in the context of cycling."
