So why aren't bicycles treated like cars and motorcycles?
They use public roads. They have their own special and expensive infrastructure. They cause motor vehicle accidents. They get themselves and others killed. They don't have to demonstrate that they understand traffic laws, potential hazards or even the safe operation of their equipment. The only way they pay into the infrastructure they use is sales tax on their stuff.
Why aren't you required to have a specific license, registration and insurance to operate a bicycle on a major public road?
