Citi Bikes in New York City, like the DC area’s Capitol Bikeshare, is very popular with young riders who find it an easy and affordable way to get around the Nation’s Capitol without incurring parking fees or maintenance costs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A recent article in the New York Times<\/a> profiles a disturbing intersection of two worlds — the bar-hopping scene of New York City, and the city’s new bike share program called Citi Bike.<\/p>\n

As explained in the article, Citi Bike has become an attractive mode of transportation for some so-called bar crawlers.\u00a0 Said to be less expensive than a taxi, more pleasant than waiting for a train on a crowded subway platform, and less wooziness-inducing than a bus or subway ride after a night of drinking, grabbing a Citi Bike seems to be gaining in popularity.<\/p>\n

This raises an interesting question, one that is troubling to Herndon bike safety lawyer Doug Landau.\u00a0 “Riding a bike is a serious responsibility,” says Doug.\u00a0 “The rider’s own safety, as well as that of motorists and pedestrians nearby, depends upon the rider being in full control of the bike.\u00a0 Riding while intoxicated can lead to serious consequences. We have been contacted after bikers have knocked down and injured pedestrians, been struck by other cyclists, and been “doored” or run over by inattentive motorists.”<\/p>\n

Is Drunk Bike Riding Legal?<\/h3>\n

Drunk cycling laws vary by state; in some states, a bike rider can be charged with DUI (driving under the influence).\u00a0 However, even in states where drunk biking is not specifically outlawed, an intoxicated cyclist certainly can be cited for such things as disorderly conduct or reckless endangerment. \u00a0The catch-all “improper driving” charge that is a lesser included offense in the arsenal of motor vehicle law enforcement may also be applicable when a biker is impaired.<\/p>\n

The Dangers of Drunk Bike Riding are Real<\/h3>\n

Make no mistake about it, riding a bike with impaired judgement and reaction time is dangerous.\u00a0 Do not take the chance. If you or someone you know has been involved in a bike crash and there are questions as to what laws apply, email<\/a> or call Abrams Landau, Ltd. at once (703-796-9555).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
