If it's a kid farting around their block or at the park; or even adults farting around their block or park, then insurance or licensing shouldn't be required.
But if you're going to ride with CARS on busy city center roads, then we better be able to hold you accountable for when you don't follow the rules of the road or hit cars/people/things.

Don't blame the cyclists,blame the mayor if you're looking for someone to point the finger at.

Why can't they just stay on the sidewalk?
People are a lot easier to avoid then cars...

Yes they are..., people can just jump out of the way, or the biker can well easily swerve around them.
Making them go beside a 70 km/h car is the dumbest idea ever.

While I agree it's the fact that people want the "right" to wander/walk around free as farts without a care in the world on a sidewalk. They want their kids to be able to run around like retards, old people to sleep walk and the average person to walk around with their eyes texting on their phone all while not being hit by cyclists!

People who are standing on a sidewalk waiting for the bus shouldn't have to look both ways to see if a bike is coming at them. Quote:
