Surely it's time for cycles to be registered and insured ?

I may have just fed the troll, but surely it's time for nothing of the
sort. Surely it's time for more police, out on the streets and visible,
issuing fixed penalty tickets for cycling infringements as well as
ticketing motorists for dangerous driving (can't do that with a camera),
deterring other crime and assisting the public where required?

Cameras, CCTV and the likes, while useful, are no substitute for proper
policing on the front line.

I agree with both, cyclists should be as accountable as any other road
user and the increase in police numbers would ensure greater safety from
rouge cyclist, car, lorry drivers and especially white van man.

Are "rouge [sic] cyclists" the ones who go through red lights? ;-)
