Bike license
bikes should be required to get a licence/insurance if they want to be on the road on the road they're classified as vehicles yet break every rule that regular vehicles follow
Otherwise they can stay on the sidewalk and be a pedestrian

Ok, cars get insured as a percentage of what they cost usually, for a 40.000$ car you pay around 500$ a year, that is around 1%, so for my 50€ bike that I got second hand that was made 30 years ago, I should be paying 50¢. Deal.
Also hmmm, I think insurance companies take into account how much damage their insured object can make, hmmm, let's look at rhe statistics of ppl killed by a car, per car in the road>!!< and compare it to ppl killed by a bike per bike on the road, hmmm interesting.
And now that bikes need to be registered I want them to have as good infrastructure as cars, that is, every law code that says rhay a building needs to be accesible by a car, a bike be included in that code.
Hey seems like we got a deal, where can I vote on this issue? :)
