The argument about licensing cycles is absurd. How about pedestrians? Should the need a license, a plate, and pay a fee to walk on a road? How about walking across the street to a neighbor's house---need a license for that. How about golf carts?

I believe Biker! stated that "Cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as cars"...I asked why they did not have plates, insurance, and contributed to road tax fund. If you don't want them to have the same responsibilities (plates and insurance) as a car, take it up with him!

Maybe the cyclists should get to tell us what to wear on the golf course, or the pools, or in the squares??? Or do they just get to make fun of what you are wearing?
To paraphrase JFK---We all live in this small community, we all share the same roads, we all cherish our retirement, and we are all mortal.

I asked why he did not ride his bike on a stand in his driveway if the roads are sub-standard width. There is a difference between asking and telling, is there not?
JFK earns about the same amount of respect from me as Bill Clinton does...
