Not for DUI.
A person operates a motor vehicle upon a public street or highway while intoxicated.
Key element is the driver must be operating a motor vehicle.

I think the DUI is pretty lame, too. It is overreach for the police. He must have broken plenty of laws riding where he was and ignoring police. Stick to what he actually did, which might include public drunkenness, but does not include operating a motor vehicle.

You can get a DUI on a bicycle. The Hollywood police department explained it to me.

True. Not a “motor vehicle.”

The late Ray Bradbury didn’t drive and once got a ticket for being drunk and in charge of a bicycle.

Doesn’t matter anymore, it’s about $$.

Riding a horse drunk maybe idiotic but doesn’t warrant a DUI, nor does it on a bicycle, lawn mower etc. Drunk in public maybe but that’s it.

Yep, that is absolutely the way the law reads.
