Among our crew here someone must know the answer.
I think it depends on what you present as identification, when pulled over. If your not required to provide a drivers licence, then don't. If you provide a drivers licence, and the LEO puts that number on the ticket, then you could find that bicycle or no, it goes on your driving record, even if it's noted on the ticket that you were on a bicycle at the time. If tickets are punched into a computer by the officer, then printed, your probably safe. If it's hand written, the data entry drone is probably only going to makes sure the licence number, citation number, offence code and speed are correct, and it's going on your driving record. This can be expunged, but it may be very difficult, and expensive.
