New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he is considering requiring bicyclists to be licensed and registered like automobile drivers currently are.

According to a report in the New York Daily News on Wednesday, the mayor also wants to expand the city's safety regulations, which already have won it a nanny-state reputation, to include requiring Citi Bike renters to wear helmets.

Mr. de Blasio called the idea of forcing cyclists to have licenses and registration a "valid discussion," the Daily News reported, and added that he also plans a crackdown on cyclists who break traffic laws.

    Anyone walking should be assumed to be the target of a manhunt. Authorities have the right to detain them until they can prove they are not a criminal and are not carrying any criminal tools like guns, knives, or lockpicking devices like credit/id cards.

    As long as Albany doesn't try to extradite anybody upstate, that should be fine.
