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.

Maybe if they didn't "grind" and damage hand rails (by riding the metal part of the board down the hand rail), and damage other public metal and stone, especially marble, then I wouldn't have a problem with them being on my lawn.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.
