Alcohol is the third highest contributory factor to cyclists being killed
on the roads with 19% of cyclists who were tested for their blood alcohol
level being found to be over the drink drive limit.

It is important to note that the test is whether or not the cyclist is fit
to ride rather than their being a legal limit of 35 microgrammes per 100
millilitres of breath as there is for drivers of motor vehicles.

The maximum penalty for cycling under the influence is £1000 however, a
cyclist who is guilty of cycling under the influence of drink or drugs can
also be found guilty of dangerous or careless cycling under sections 28 and
29.

Too often we read of cyclists being killed, riding bicycles having no
lights, on an unlit road, and the cyclist having no helmet or hi-viz,
having just left the pub at closing time.
