Most cycle-commuters will tell you cycling to work is the best way to get to and from work and it's probably doing you some good. However a recent major study, published in the British Medical Journal, suggests that the health benefits are staggering, slashing the risk of heart disease and cancer. FTFA:
Research has consistently shown that people who are less physically active are both more likely to develop health problems like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and to die younger. Yet there is increasing evidence that physical activity levels are on the decline.
The problem is that when there are many demands on our time, many people find prioritising exercise difficult. One answer is to multi-task by cycling or walking to work. We've just completed the largest ever study into how this affects your health.

That should be decided by law-makers. Personally, I think they should be insured by the owner (or lease-holder if leased), and the insurance company pays out for any damage they cause. If you have an opinion, you should let your local representative know so suitable laws can be passed.

If someone deliberately designs, builds, and sells a machine that through the carelessness of its makers autonomously and uncontrollably kills people, the designers makers and sellers should be held for multiple murder charges. No, it doesn't make it OK if you call that machine a "car" instead of a "terminator".
So, which legislator exactly do you have in mind, who listens to the public instead of the corporate lobbyists?
