intoxicated cyclist

Bike license? Do any of you have to have one of those?

Many cities and towns have bicycle licenses, but they are *not* cyclist licenses - they are more like tabs for your car and generally meant to facilitate returning stolen/lost bicycles. As far as I know (this has been extensively discussed in the Seattle area) there are no places in the US that require cyclists to be licensed to ride a bike.

On the other topic.... there are plenty of drunken cyclists too... many of them get there after they have lost their license to drive a car..... In Seattle it is not a ticketable traffic offense to ride a bike drunk..., but the police can impound your bike if they think you are a danger to yourself. They can also give you a ticket for public intoxication, I think, if you are way over the edge, but that's got nothing to do with the bike.

There are also annual "pub crawls". I know many a person who has admitted their worst injury occurred thinking they could ride a bike intoxicated on a pub crawl.

TX does not have a bike license.
