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.

Have you priced good bicycles? Not Wall-E-World. We sold many bikes in the $5k range all the time. About once every two years a $15k to $30k bike would sell. Cops don't care how much it cost. They just want to take a report and go eat dinner.

Stealing bicycles is the way to go if your a career criminal.
eBay, Craigslist, and many others are your fence.
Tear down is easy and parts are good prices on ebay.

Well, that problem won't get solved anytime soon. I guess buying good bicycles is a bad idea.
