Just considering that perhaps it does cyclists no favour to have lawyers advising them take someone to court in the event of a straightforward accident, which could have been avoided had the cyclist in question made an educated decision to, for example, avoid filtering on the inside.
I don't think we should go down the road of licensing (or taxing) bikes, but perhaps putting the onus on cyclists to seek training, whilst not enforcing it, will make for fewer avoidable incidents?
There's every chance it might just put folks off cycling in the first place, in which case consider the straw to be well torn.
