CINCINNATI—Police in Cincinnati say a man was drunk while riding his bicycle in traffic.
Police said they arrested 52-year-old Archie Johnson on Sunday after seeing his bicycle swerving.

He was processed and released from the Hamilton County Jail, pending a court appearance on charges of operating a vehicle under the influence and resisting arrest.

Terry, are you serious? How can you honestly think this “DUI crap is getting out of hand…“. You can’t be operating any type of transportation vehicle on a public road without obeying the “traffic laws.“ What if this drunk bicyclist rode in front of a vehicle, who then had to swerve left of center to avoid the drunk thus hitting another car head on killing those inside…sounds like you have a few DUI’s on your record and are just upset about it!
This is stupid how can the police classify a bicycle as a vehicle?
It has NO MOTOR,TRANSMISSION,AND NO DOORS!
This DUI crap is getting out of hand whenever the police pull a STUPID STUNT like this.
