Ah, yes! More regulation and the mandatory purchase of something you may not want.

Works great for healthcare! Should work for this -- and gun control, too!

To be really safe, we need walking to be licensed.

The problem is that cyclists ride on the road yet go vastly slower than cars. Bicycles do not belong on the road. They’re just too slow. It would be like allowing mopeds and scooters on the highway.

Make them ride on the sidewalks where there are no bike lanes - and no, we cannot provide bike lanes everywhere. American cities were built with the car in mind.

I would support that if you also prohibited by law a parent or any other person buying a bicycle or tricycle or big wheel or scooter or any similar device for any child who wasn't licensed and insured, regardless of age.

And require proof of pilot's license and liability insurance before you can buy a rubber band-powered toy airplane, wire or remote controlled model airplane, helium balloon or kite.

And charged every motorist who strikes a bicyclist with assault with a deadly weapon.

that’s part of the problem-I see cyclist all the time claiming the middle of the road but not adhering to traffic laws-
