I'm certainly not arguing the point of not having an ID while walking. I still think it is pretty stupid to be doing anything without ID. If you're out excercising and get hurt, and can't talk, etc, knocked out, who knows, having ID is good.

But...Bicycles are subject to the same laws as motor vehicles, except for licensing.

Now I have to carry "an ID" while I'm riding. Although, I wonder if riding a bicycle would be considered "traveling". Hmmmmmm.
