For those 18 and over who cycle on public roadways, licensing and liability insurance should be mandatory.

Well, I’ve yet to see a cyclist do enough damage to require the insurance. However, I do agree that bicyclists who disregard the law — including the hard-core guys who seem to think that a paceline negates any legal requirements — should get tickets, and they should count as points on their licenses.

Please don’t make me pay for insurance for the huge amount of time I spend on my bike. Maybe twice a year on the road.

We do the bike paths. I have a hubby, two girls with me and a dog in a front basket. It’s recreational. Period.

So that we could go on the side streets to get to the Dairy Queen, I would need insurance? Oh please.

You have just outed yourself as a Liberal by advocating more Government Regulation and more Taxes.

I am sure the Democrats could use you as a Block Captain for the upcoming Election.
