Some states have laws against riding a bicycle on a street or highway while under the influence of drugs or alcohol (cycling under the influence, or CUI). Other states apply traditional DUI/DWI laws to cycling while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. And some states don't have a specific CUI law, and don't apply traditional DUI/DWI laws to riding a non-motorized vehicle, such as a bicycle.
In Kentucky, the laws that apply to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) are primarily focused on motor vehicles and do not explicitly include bicycles. Kentucky's DUI statutes, found in KRS Chapter 189A, define a motor vehicle in a way that generally excludes bicycles. Therefore, traditional DUI laws do not typically apply to individuals cycling under the influence. However, cyclists could potentially be charged under public intoxication laws or other relevant statutes if their behavior is deemed to endanger themselves or others. It is important to note that while there may not be a specific cycling under the influence (CUI) law in Kentucky, cycling while impaired is dangerous and can lead to legal consequences and safety risks.
