Not in my state.
In its review of the legislature's intent, the court first examined the scope and intent of the various Washington DUI laws. It found that the numerous statutes addressing DUI were "clearly intended" to apply to motorized vehicles only. The court cited various examples of DUI statutes and found consistent references to motor vehicles. Moreover, the court pointed out that the legislature had been careless in drafting the statutes and had used the terms "vehicle" and "motor vehicle" interchangeably. Neither term included a reference to bicycles.
Still not a great idea, though.
