This could be things that once were commercialized but are now public domain, or have largely resisted commercialization to this day. In this context I mean this as aiming for profit and being sold/monetized.

    You can get a DUI on a bike in a lot of the US. The same DUI you can get driving an F350. I dunno, feels kinda fucked up to me

      The way it is written, you can get a DUI on anything wheeled, even sneakers with wheels embedded could land you a DUI in theory.

      It sounds even dumber for the rider, and you can still hurt pedestrians. I dunno about it being the same as for cars, but it is a heavy moving object.

          When operated correctly, they’re vastly safer. But it’s still quite possible to have a double fatality from a bike/pedestrian collision at speed: cyclist goes flying; ped falls over; two brains broken. It’s important for cyclists to follow traffic rules, stop at stop signs and for crosswalks, and bike on the street rather than the sidewalk in downtown areas.
