Interesting.
FWIW I have been chased down on my bike and given a field sobriety test. The cops obviously thought they could get me for some type of impairment while on my bicycle.
his is the state statute on OUI:

I have never heard of anyone getting a DWI while riding a bike but perhaps it is possible. I would certainly never charge someone with it. Perhaps they were simply looking to charge you with drunk in public.

The key words in there are "or other means of conveyance." State supreme court ruled this was vague and that bicycles didn't fall within other means of conveyance. The did say that they should, but since the law isn't written that way, you're good to go. The legislature never bothered to update the law after the decision.
