Out here in Kalifornia bicycles are considered vehicles by law, and their operation is governed by the motor vehicle code. A person doesn't have to have a drivers license to operate one, but must obey all laws regarding them. They are very similar to motorcycle laws. Running stop signs, wrong side of street or wrong way on one way street are violations and citable. If a person has committed an offense, he must have ID, or its off to the slammer, untill ID can be verified. The catch is that the cops usually don't bother with bicyclists unless there is an accident or the cyclist tee's of the cop somehow.

Wrong-o, NP,
Kalifornia cops do not bother arresting, stopping, or ID-img anyone who looks like an illegal alien, because it's a day wasted in processing and no fine will be paid.
If a non-Hispanic citizen were to be driving a pick-up load full of kids unsecured in the bed, and the pick-up had funny looking tags, he would last about a nano-second on the freeway. And, he would pay the fine or lose the truck.

Not to mention, that these idiots on bikes go out of their way to cut in front of your vehicle, run people down, and win lawsuits against you for hitting their stupid a##es! Ban them from the cities!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw one lose against a city bus though....incredible, but really they think here in San Francisco, that the traffic laws do not apply to them, so that's why I lose it, sorry ;)
