The good thing is, "too drunk to ride a bike" happens much earlier than "too drunk". And while with a car some push it and still drive drunk (sometimes with horrendous consequences), a bike has this safety mechanism where they simply cannot be ridden when drunk.

A bike also has the safety mechanism of not being 3000 pounds and the inability to easily drive through the walls of buildings

I am a practiced cyclist and an accomplished drinker, and I can tell you that I am able to operate a bicycle deeper into intoxication than I can reliably walk.

It's as if all bikes came with their own tamper proof drunk driver detector and drunk usage preventer: a built-in continuous driver balance testing system, even more reliable than a breathalyzer, and able to detect all kinds of other drugs too.

Drunk tricycle driving and bikes with training wheels: now those much more inherently dangerous problems!

That just isn’t true. I’ve cycled while extremely drunk on multiple occasions (which, to be clear, I think is a bad idea).

Somehow the bycicles in Germany seem to lack such mechanism, given the state of some examples I have witnessed.
