This did not turn into a felony stop. I had no pot on me and was super cooperative with the cops.

I got a public defender, who turned out to be awesome. When I met with him in his office for the first time, he has a dope Colnago road bike and told me he rides his bike everywhere, dude even owns a track bike. When he read the police report and found out that I was on a bike, his tone with me suddenly changed.

He told me he gets someone with a BUI about once a month and every time its taken to trial, the jury convicts you. Here in Portland, there is lots of beef between cyclists and motorists. I didn't want to risk getting a jury of fat, lazy suburban-driving soccer moms and get reamed twice as hard.

Since my BAC was .2, the judge was stern about it. Had I been driving a 12,000 pound car, the consequences would have been the same.

They even suspended my driver's license.
Also, if I wouldn't have blown, I could've gotten this whole ****ing thing dropped. NEVER BLOW.

Serious bull****.
