I think some of this DUI frenzy is counterproductive,
If a convicted DUI can get into the same trouble for driving a bike

I don't care about the drunk but I do care about who he runs over.

Very true. Some years ago, they arrested a guy in a small town near here
for riding his horse drunk. He said the horse knew the way home, and he was
not driving.

He needed a designated driver

Hehe. Reminds me Cat Ballou.
I've got no problem using boating violations against a driver's
license for impaired driving. The other option is to require a
license to drive a boat, and go after that.
But jaywalking and bicycle riding?
Your logic is right on.
