Actually the original point in the original post was the
bicycles and cyclists should be licensed & registered and
maybe insured so that cyclist traffic law offenders could
be punished. Especially since bicycles have the alleged
potential of causing much damage and injury to motor
vehicles and their drivers.

Is the added governmental bureaucracy Non-Motor Vehicle
Departments etc. would create really so necessary?
