Well I refused the breathalyzer because the nearest one was an hour away which equaled a night in jail because no one would be able to come pick me up. I don't really care about losing my license for 120 days, I dont really drive anywhere anyway. The cop told me point blank that he was only writing me up because he was bored...which sucks.
Suspension plus the points are going to cost you a ton in insurance and fees (reinstatement, etc). Did the cop explain to you that refusal of breathalyzer was instant suspension and is considered a guilty plea?
He told me about the suspension, didnt tell me that it was an automatic guilty plea. He also never read me miranda rights but I'm not sure if I really got arrested. I mean I was cuffed and put in a car and taken to the police station, does that count as an arrest?
Did you perform any field sobriety tests or have your blood drawn at the station? What evidence do they have you were intoxicated?

Yea I failed the field sobriety test but refused a breathalyzer...
As I had posted earlier, in Maryland refusal of a breathalyzer is/can be considered admission of guilt.

don't ask here. get a lawyer. a good lawyer can get anyone out of just about anything. you have a very good chance with this.
DWI on a bicycle.....I do wonder if you can get arrested for walking while intoxicated. How about falling out of a chair after a couple of beers, sitting while intoxicated?

You could be arrested for public intoxication.

....DUI while riding in the back of a Red Flyer wagon....
You sound like a broken record. It's tiring.
Don't read anymore of my posts, don't wanna get DUI while sleeping.

It was raining, my tires lost traction and I fell off my bike (bicycle). There was unfortunatly a cop 3 blocks down the street that saw the entire thing. I was trying to do the responsible thing and not drive, but I guess riding a bike can get you a DUI as well. I refused the breathalizer because there was no breathalizer in the station and the nearest one was an hour away, and I would have had no way to get back.
Any advice on what I should do?

Yea apparently riding a bicycle while intoxicated is the same thing as operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in the state of Maryland...

There was a burb on DUIs in USA Today the other day. They mentioned people in the US have been arrested for DUI on bikes, lawn mowers, boats, & horses.

I guess...but they do ride on public roads and have to obey traffic laws. They can't just pick and choose which ones they want to follow. A drunk bike rider could get some people killed if they were swerving to avoid them. Not to mention their own safety.

Fuck...might as well just drive a car then. If I'm going to get a DUI for riding a bicycle while intoxicated why not just take the car?

Yeah, I'm sure that happens all the time...:roll:
And a plane could fall out of the sky and hit the drunken cyclist sending him through the window of an oncoming car, killing a mother of two. It could happen!

Yeah and risk more people's lives compared to being on a bike.

Or a drunk bicyclist could swerve into an oncoming car. Killing himself and harming the driver and/or passengers of the vehicle.

Hell you could walk into a car drunk, maybe we should start arresting people for drunk walking and impounding their shoes.
