When you are eligible for reinstatement, whether on a restricted or full basis, you will be subjected to the ignition interlock requirement for a minimum of one year.   It is probable that at the time you were sentenced the judge pronounced that the term would be one year, although he or she could have enlarged that term. Also, the device must be installed at your expense.

You certainly can get a DUI on a bicycle in Florida. The public policy behind this law is that you may hurt yourself or cause a traffic accident by riding your bicycle while impaired.  The facts you have mentioned pertain to the basis for the traffic stop and not whether you were impaired. A police officer does not have to have probable cause to make a traffic stop, only a reasonable belief that you violated a traffic law. Once he is in contact with you if he has reason to believe you are impaired, such as smelling alcohol, then he has probable cause to begin a dui investigation.
