I yield to the legality of cyclists riding in Latvian cross-walks.

There are some traffic laws I break routinely - mostly I don't signal turns if there is noone close enough to be affected by my actions. I also usually start moving just before the red lights go out, to get a bit of head start on cars. On rare occasions I blow red lights too, but only if it's safe to do so. Breaking the speed limits is mostly a non-issue, but I have done it a few times. And I'm pretty sure that I occasionally exceed the blood alcohol limit when riding home from the pub.
This is a solid urban cycling rulebook. Now is it illegal to ride a bicycle while partially intoxicated? If so, I am "braking bad" more than I knew before.
