Bicycle DUI’s

Many folks are surprised to hear that you can get a DUI on a bicycle in Oregon, and that Oregon’s DUI laws apply to all vehicles on the road. This is because the same laws govern both pedal-powered bikes and semi-trucks. The legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% applies to bike cases as well, though you can get charged with lower BAC’s if there are enough signs of impairment. Of course, you can also be charged with a DUI for marijuana and other intoxicating substances. We’ve discussed e-bikes and electric scooters in the past, but for bicyclists looking to do a deep dive on DUI law, and the changes made to it in 2024, then you should take a look at our article published at HG.org.
