I am of the opinion that if you ride a bicycle on a roadway, it should be licensed and insured just like a car. Otherwise, ride on the sidewalk.
Licensed to ride a bicycle or even just walk across the street? How about drivers just learn to be aware that the street doesn’t belong to just them?
I just think non-motorized bikes are more closely related to pedestrians than are cars to bikes or pedestrians. By weight alone, a bike shouldn’t be ridden on a road if a sidewalk is available. Where I live, roads are busy, sidewalks see very little foot-traffic in town.
