Bikers - people who ride motorcycles, do have insurance and have to obey the rules of the road, or get ticketed.
Cyclists - people who ride bicycles, probably should get insurance, especially since most of the ones I see don't obey the rules of the road at all - blowing through red lights and stop signs, crossing the yellow lines and riding against the flow of traffic, riding four abreast...and I never see any of them getting ticketed.
Why do we need insurance, or should I say mandatory insurance?
Now is where someone will tell me because government will then step in and taxpayers will pay for doctors, repairs and loss of time or life. So what? They will do this anyway, no matter if there is insurance or not.
Government mandates insurance as another form of control. It is not about protecting others, it is about placing chains on our life force. It is in line with business licenses, drivers licenses, housing permits, Environmental protections et al. These things do not make life safer, cleaner, or just. It does though, make us all slaves.
“Bikers - people who ride motorcycles”
Bicycles were around first, so they get dibs on the term. There isn’t even a “bi” in “motorcyclist” anyway. Should be “mokers”.
I had to go get him out of jail and help him get his bike back. Eventually, the DUI charge was dropped, but he still had to pay the ticket for running the red light.
