  • Yes they can give you a DUI(In Texas it's a DUI not DWI) for riding your bike while intoxicated. I lived in Austin for a while and there have been cases of people getting DUI's while on a bike. I am guessing that you are planning on going to Sixth street to do the bar crawl. If so you are better off walking or taking a cab. Also on a side note two years ago someone was arrested in Austin for riding their lawn mower while intoxicated. The police generally don't harrass to many people on sixth street though.
  • Anyone being drunk and disorderly in public is subject to arrest. A bicycle is a weapon in this case. I don't think it's common because most people don't drive bikes drunk because they can get killed easier than the public.
