DUI / DWI

cycling under influence (CUI)

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 Wyoming, the laws that apply to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) do not explicitly include non-motorized vehicles such as bicycles. Wyoming Statutes Title 31, Chapter 5, Article 2 outlines the regulations for Driving While Under the Influence (DWUI). These statutes typically refer to 'motor vehicles,' which does not encompass bicycles. Therefore, while it is not advisable to ride a bicycle while impaired due to the risk of harm to oneself and others, Wyoming does not have a specific Cycling Under the Influence (CUI) law, nor does it apply traditional DUI/DWI laws to cyclists. However, cyclists could potentially be charged under public intoxication or similar laws depending on the circumstances of the incident.
