No. DWI laws apply to motor vehicles only, and do not apply to vehicles propeled by muscular power.

NJSA 39:4-50 Driving While Intoxicated covers only persons who operate a motor vehicle. A Bicycle (without a motor) is not considered a motor vehicle.

Re: Cyclists and Drunk Driving
No. Dwi involves the operation of a motor vehicle. There must be a motor which propels the vehicle involved. You may call at 800 273 7933 and you can visit my website by clicking on www.garymooreattorneyatlaw.abn1.net/home.asp
