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.

Not where you are but one time I nearly crashed into another cyclist who was illegally running a red light. Our two relatively tiny bikes nearly collided in the massive multi lane intersection as that spandex wearing race bike-de-franc cocksucker took a blind leap of faith right in front of me. For a fraction of a second he was so close I could have touched him.

We call these guys ninjas because you never see them coming. Ideally they have no lights because that adds too much weight.
