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.

One of them used to BOAST about it here, some years ago.
Before he had more important things to worry about.
