Another reason to licence, MOT and insure cyclists

Didn't read the article, get the idea though. You're a dumb feck if you buy them and then don't put it together properly. Meh.
BUT on the point of insuring, MOT etc. for bikes there's no need for that but a I personally wouldn't mind paying say £30 – £50 a year Registration fee*. It would at once get rid of any abuse about not paying to be on the roads ra rararara...

• This is with an overly idealistic view that all monies raised would go into improving the roads for cyclist, improving cycle parking and creating an all round better environment for urban cycling.
  
  

Anyway, some flames might be useful today, it's kinda chilly.
