    I’m a bicyclist and a motorcyclist.

    The bicyclists who act like a weekend class and a street safety test are an existential threat are full of it.

    Yes, it IS possible to get licenses for things.

    Having a plate on what’s a motorcycle in all but name is good for safety.

    The number of people ripping along on bicycle and foot paths at 30mph+ has gotten insane. Even ignoring that, the number of single vehicle accidents on e-bikes has gone exponential.

      How about instead regulate the bikes themselves so they perform safely and therefore don’t need a license?

      And then if you want a giga powerful 40mph one sure get a license to drive that on the roads.
