He better not tell anyone in the jail why he's in there. If someone finds out he was DUI on a tricycle he's going to get the shit kicked out of him.

That's too bad they didn't just give him a warning. My dad's uncle would occasionally get busted for riding his bike home from the bar. His logic made sense at the time: who was he going to kill while on a bike, apart from himself, and that if he did get killed, there was no one to blame but himself.

He's also fond of yellow rain slickers, and former president of the Artie Johnson fan club.

Frankly, this asstrike deserved a DUI arrest. The cop had warned him not to ride his tricycle while he was drunk and he agreed not to do it. Then, a short while later, the same cop not only spots him riding it, but catches him in a bunch of moving violations! I guess booze enhanced his innate power of stupidity.
Also, it's great how the newspaper thoughtfully included a Google Map that shows the location of the crime. My enjoyment of the article is certainly improved by knowing where the dastardly deed took place.

He's lucky he got off with getting arrested. If he was that effed up, driving into oncoming traffic, he could easily have been killed. Whatever his sentence is will be minimal, compared to being six feet under...

Adult tricycles are AWESOME! This guy, however, isn't.

Yeah, he was a real danger to society.

Riding in style!

cherie: only if the trike had a clown horn and streamers on the handles!

You're right Soo...and one of those white plastic weave baskets with fake flowers on the front and one of those awesome orange flags on the long skinny pole attached to the back. SWEET! OH WAIT!!! and those cool little spoke things that will make that clinking nose when you're riding. OMG!

Playing cards in the spokes are great way to get that clicking sound without spending all your liquor money to get 'em. I think if he's going to ride drunk he needs something a little noisier so the cars know he's coming, though.

Soo, yer uncle's idea was funny and made sense...until I thought of someone swerving to not hit him and ending up in an accident.
