That's the question, what's your answer?

Supplementary to this:
Would you want the plate(s) lit at night? How does one do this (creative
use of EL-wire, perhaps)?
Should all age-groups be licensed?

Bikes should not be licensed. Period. Why?

A)
They're not motor vehicles and cause no pollution or road damage. And if you
license bikes whats next , foot scooters, roller skates?

B)
How the hell would you enforce it? Would the police give chase in a panda car
only for the bike to disappear into a park or alley, or would they chase on
foot and watch the bike disappear into the distance with the rider giving them
the finger?

C)
What about kids riding bikes? Would pre-teens have to be licensed or would
they just be banned altogether because they're too young?

D)
If bikes are licensed what do the riders get from it? Nothing probably, so in
other words its yet another tax. This time on people who are trying to do their
bit for the enviroment. Talk about the government shooting its enviroment
policies in the foot.
