Mar 11, 2019 at 19:48 comment added emory @Acccumulation Yes cops can ask for ID when they issue traffic tickets to cyclists. They can ask for anything they want. Asking implies you have the right to refuse.
Mar 11, 2019 at 19:13 comment added mark b @Acccumulation I wouldn't always be so sure in Texas. You do NOT need a license to operate a bicycle in Texas. Hence, people riding bicycles do not have to show their ID. In Texas if you're not under arrest you do not have to identify yourself. Even if you are under arrest in Texas, you can identify yourself verbally with your name, birthdate and address. You may not lie to the officer, but doing what I said would be sufficient in this case. If you are not under arrest you won't need to identify yourself.
Mar 11, 2019 at 17:07 comment added Acccumulation @emory "Cyclists never need to show ID to law enforcement." That's ridiculous. Cyclists are bound by traffic laws and can get traffic tickets, and when they're issued traffic tickets, cops can ask for ID. There are lots of other situations where thwy would be required to show ID.

Feb 10, 2019 at 2:26 comment added emory It is completely legal to make bogus threats of arrest and then never carry them out.
Feb 10, 2019 at 2:25 comment added emory It is obvious if nothing else that the cops were jerks. Cyclists never need to show ID to law enforcement. In some states and situations, cyclists may need to identify themselves - which could mean verbally identify yourself (e.g., "I am Alex Doe, of 1234 Main Street, Huston, TX").
