I wouldn't go along with the registration and licensing of riders part
It would put a lot of people off cycling, which is the last thin
needed. As someone else pointed out, offences committed by cyclists ca
be dealt with in exactly the same way as any other offence committed b
someone who isn't carrying ID. I suppose that I'm neither specificall
for nor against the parent post, but I do hold some opinions that I fel
were relevant

and scroll down to the section titled: 'Traffic Signals'
(it's near the bottom of the page.)

Actually the whole Bike Sense manual is pretty good,
but it's in the context of British Columbia traffic law;
other jurisdications might differ on some of the legal
topics covered.

Geese can't be expected to know what they're doing.
