LAKESIDE, Ore. - A man on the southern Oregon coast was arrested Friday afternoon for riding an adult-sized tricycle while intoxicated, authorities said.

According to Oregon State Police, a trooper came in contact with a group of intoxicated people at Tenmile Lakes County Park near Lakeside and warned a man not to ride his purple "Miami Sun" tricycle home because he was obviously drunk. Not long after, the trooper saw the man riding the tricycle in a traffic lane on the wrong side of the street, state police said. The tricycle then rode past a stop sign and down the wrong side of another street, police said.

The trooper stopped the man, who failed field sobriety tests and was taken into custody for driving under the influence of intoxicants, state police said.

William David Bjorkquist, 58, of Lakeside, was taken to the Coos County jail, where he was cited and released, state police said

Interesting, second different bike story. What's he gonna do on a bike drunk besides get himself killed or run into a pole? Such a serious offense. ;P /sarcasm

Ok, I can see them arresting him and being pissed because he was warned not to do it, and then was in traffic, on the wrong side of the street. But I lived in Lakeside once and it is so freaking small I doubt there was much traffic. Maybe some sheep!
