In Wyoming, the DUI statute does not apply to bicyclists — it covers motor-vehicle operators only. Wyoming's DUI statute (W.S. § 31-5-233) applies to a person who drives or has actual physical control of a 'vehicle,' but the general vehicle definition in W.S. § 31-1-101(a)(xxiii) excludes devices moved exclusively by human power. As a result, the standard DUI statute does not reach bicycle riders. An impaired cyclist who endangers others may instead be charged under reckless-operation or public-intoxication statutes. See W.S. § 31-5-233 (Driving or having control of vehicle while under influence of intoxicating liquor or controlled substances).
A DUI charge isn't on the table for cyclists in Wyoming, but that's not a license to ride drunk — public-intoxication, reckless-conduct, and disorderly-conduct charges can still apply, and cycling impaired dramatically raises crash risk.
