After hearing numerous accounts of horrific injuries sustained by bicyclists and by pedestrian struck by them — I believe in common sense bicycle control.

I’m saying that bicycles should be banned altogether. Just regulated so as to eliminate the threat they pose to public safety.

Any extremist who actually wants to own a bicycle need only register it with a local government run velodrome. And keep it there.

Whenever they want to ride their bicycle they can go to the government run velodrome and ride it in circles for as long as they please.

It is only common sense.

Why shouldn’t bicycles have to be licensed to help pay for the roads? They certainly contribute to congestion.

Why shouldn’t the operators be required to have a license? Too many certainly break traffic laws.

Why shouldn’t bicyclists have to insure their bicycles? They cause accidents too.

Shouldn’t bicyclists be held accountable like every other driver?
