Drunk biking and CTA Train Tracker on VWYF

http://votewithyourfeetchicago.blogspot.com/

This week Vote With Your Feet explores two key green transportation topics:
what's going on with the CTA's Train Tracker program,
and whether you can get a DUI for bicycling while drunk.

Keep on walking, biking and transit-ing,

I didn't know that in Illinois you can't be charged with DUI on a bike, but that is not true for every state. Check your local laws.

I didn't know you couldn't get a DUI on a bike either. Very good information. Thanks!

no - you cannot get a BUI / BWI : but you can get a public intoxication ticket and I believe reckless something_or_other. (this is also the case without a bike - just go to wrigleyville on a game day and watch)

and NO - I do not speak from experience here.
