Here is the bottom line on cyclist and ID Cards. The Hiibel US Supreme Court case firmly establishes that if a cyclist is stopped by police either for investigation or arrest, all the cyclist must do, is verbally provide their correct name and birth date.
Hiibel clearly allows states to require people to provide the police with their correct name. I didn't see anything in the ruling that extends that to include date of birth, but maybe I missed something or it was covered in another ruling.

Could you clarify where it is specified that a correct birth date must be given upon request?
