If it moves tax it.
What about a license for my pet Fish, Eric....He’s a halibut.
Que the photo of the cop arresting a 5 year old for being an unlicensed rider. Oh, and call a tow truck for the bike, which the kid can’t get back until he presents a license. by then the tow bill will be nearing a thousand dollars, so his folks will just by him a new one.
With the way bicyclists behave in our quiet hamlet, I’m all for making them get licenses. Make the adult cyclists pay road taxes and property taxes too. And they should be fined for bad taste regarding their choice of apparel.

I think that requires a general fishowners license, and then a white meat fish license.
If he were haddock, it would require a chowder license.
What age does this kick in at? Are Big Wheels exempt? Wonder if you get your first 8 years of life free anymore.
Just a day or two ago, I was driving down the street, and there was a biker on the right side of the road, holding his cell phone in one hand, while either texting, or reading a text, and trying to steer his bike, and stay out of traffic with his other hand. I made sure I got around him as quickly as I could because he clearly had no control over the bike.
I would fully support that. Let them pay for those useless bike lanes as well.
“I think that requires a general fishowners license, and then a white meat fish license.”
I’m not a fish eater, but I go to the local seafood restaurant at times just for the halibut.
What a joke fake news article.
It talks about the problem of bikes in New York City, and then has the brass to mention the term “Law enforcement”.
If the cops in New York City enforced the laws which already do pertain to bicyclists their behavior would have changed decades ago.
It’s the thing specifically anti-car bicyclist hate the most.
The idea that they need to pay for a license, plates, and have insurance to operate those bikes on the same road, with the same rights, as cars.
yikes! for once I agree with wilhelm.
If bikes have their own street light, then they should have a license. Someone has to pay for that light!
I was waiting to do a left turn. I wait and wait at the red light. Soon the cars in the right lane going straight get their green light and off they go! I’m waiting, waiting and getting impatient...maybe the left turn light is broken? Then I notice a tiny bicycle shaped green light on the left. Holy bazookas!!I HAVE TO WAIT FOR CYCLISTS!!!
Yup! cyclists should get a license. They have their own lane, own light...someone paid for that.
Will they give to illegal alien invaders...and give them motor voter?
I must admit, I watch a lot of videos of bicycling in The Netherlands, and I am somewhat envious of them, except for one thing, it’s got to suck bicycling in the middle of Winter.
Our bike lanes aren’t useless...they are usually clogged with millennial breeders walking side by side with baby strollers the size of volkswagons and flabby middle aged liberal women doing their power walks. AND we have perfectly good sidewalks. But no, they are special and have to use the bike lane.
I perch there now and then myself.

No for now- but, if it were a Cod-Haddock, well then- taxes galore
