If they want bike lanes on public roads in CA, they should force them to register and license their bikes every year just like cars. It’s only fair.

I though they already had to license bikes, at least where I grew up in Bellflower/Paramount Calif in the 1960’s.
Here in Hawaii unless on state roads where the minimum speed is 40 MPH, Bikes can use any lane they choose, just like a car, truck, bus, or motorcycle. Bikes are required to be licensed here(rarely enforced).
I used to work with a Vegan ECO-Nut that insisted on riding down the middle of the signed 30 mph street and using the left turn lane. All legal, everybody hated him for it but it was legal. Thanks to his “Clean” life style he died from pancreatic cancer at age 55. The town in general did not miss him very much.

Because no bike owners own cars, trucks, or RVs and pay the same taxes you do. And it’s only fair that there should be a sidewalk usage tax on every pair of shoes sold and those using wheelchairs, strollers, or mobility scooters should have to pay a special fee because like cars and bikes, they have wheels.

Reductio ad absurdum.
