Repeat DWI offenders whose licenses have been revoked.
Somebody mentioned this category of cyclist in another thread. I see them on my local bike path all the time.
Where is the sub-forum for those guys?

I see a few myself on my off-hours commute. It's getting worse - Colorado Springs was recently listed as the third 'drunkest city' in the U.S. for its population. I think the only reason I'm not labeled as such on my commute is the wide variety of Fredly jerseys I sport. DUI riders don't wear the lycra/spandex/polyester/whathaveyou.

They're easily spotted riding a cheap mountain bike in denim attire carrying a large, paper bag under the arm.

(truly awful results of the disease of alcoholism, combined with drug abuse)
- i live in area where i'm outnumbered by long-haired, bearded, sunburned, and filthy cyclists toting multiple plastic grocery bags along the sidewalks on their half-broken mountain bikes or hybrids... we seem to have a mutual respect, although i did run across one fellow who babbled incoherently when i passed him (never could figure out what he was saying)...

That's funny. When did riding a bike become so punk rock anyway?

After falling on my face in college, I never did it again. I think we shouldn't shun these people but ask them how the hell they can defy their internal gyros and stay fairly upright.

where i live you can always spot the repeat, aggravated DWI guys. they're the ones:
- riding a POS bike with the drop bars turned up, no tape
- no shirt, jeans, butt dangling from the mouth
- greasy mullet under Dale Earnhardt hat
- no job
they don't own computers.

It would be like a humanzee. Apocryphal, and a terrible frightening thing if real.

well, I go to a DUI "class/meeting" every week. There are a total of 5 people that rides their bikes in. 2 are junker bikes, held together by glue and tape, 1 k-mart bike, 1 classic, mint condition, 15 year old Trek, and of course one of mine(either a Full carbon SRAM Red, My CX Ultegra, or the new fixed gear I'm building)
I don't ride because I got a DUI, I was commuting to work long before that.
the scary thing is half the class are still driving. no license, no insurance.

Occassionally statistics are published showing a high incidence of accidents involving drunk cyclists. The stories usually doesn't both to explain the reason - many are people with suspended/revoked licenses for DUIs and the other are people who plan on drinking and don't want to drive home.
