You can still get a DUI riding a bicycle, if you can believe that. It's fucking stupid as shit, but I know someone whose life was turned upside down because he chose to ride his bike to a bar, thinking he was being responsible.
Very much depends on the state. Here in Massachusetts, the charge is operating a motor vehicle under the influence (OUI). I'm pretty good friends with an assistant DA, and she assures me that my bike is not a motor vehicle.
Regardless of the state, I'd imagine that a decent lawyer could have helped your friend out.
Lawyers cost money that they didn't have.
Or even riding a horse in some states. Though I know of no law where it is illegal to ride a drunk horse. Which seems way more dangerous.
