Apparently at least in Pima county it is against the law to ride a bicycle without ID. In 1999 a guy was arrested and spent the night in jail because he was riding he's bike without ID.

Are Cyclists Required to Carry Identification?

I think EVERYONE is required to carry ID... Not just cyclists.
Seems like "BIG BROTHER", if you ask me!
