Bicycle DUI Lands Pennsburg Man in Prison for 1-5 Years

A Pennsburg Man was sentenced to one to five years in jail after pleading guilty to two DUI charges in one month, in one of which he was riding a mountain bike, according to the Mercury.

Ronald Kramer, 56, was charged with DUI last year after Upper Perkiomen Police found him on March 17 just before 1 a.m. swerving along Main Street in Pennsburg on a Mountain Pike, with loud music playing from the handlebars, according to court documents.

Police said Kramer told them that he was riding his bicycle home from the bar.

Less than one month later, on April 7, Kramer was arrested for DUI while driving with a suspended license, with an open container in the vehicle, according to court records.

As recently as May of 2012, Kramer plead guilty to “public drunkenness and similar misconduct,” according to court records.

Kramer was charge with DUI in December of 2000, in which he was also charged for fleeing or attempting to elude an officer.

Court of Common Pleas Judge Joseph A. Smyth, who accepted the plea agreement, also ordered Kramer to undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation while in prison.
