Im trying to find out if it is illegal to ride a bike while drunk?
Jesse, a very good question.
I believe in New Zealand it is quite legal to ride a bicycle drunk only if you’re wearing a skirt and a blindfold, except on the motorway where if you are drunk it is encouraged that you be in a motorcar like other New Zealanders. And under no circumstances should you ride a bicycle drunk if you are giving a donkey a dinkey, unless you also have a parrot on your shoulder and you should never ride a bike drunk if you are a teetotaler.
All good advice there.
