I actually support "nanny state," sometimes.

Bicycles sharing the roads with cars should mean bicycles having same rules as cars, or at least motorcycles.
I usually don't agree with the mayor of NYC, but I think there may be something to licenses for bikes.
Whenever I'm driving my work truck, I notice roughly 1 out of 10 drivers of cars NOT wearing a seat belt. I think they're idiots. People drive so poorly, and seat belts save lives by preventing people from flying through the air and landing with great impact... just as any accident with a motorcycle seems to be fatal due to such instances.
I've noticed almost every time I encounter a bicycle on the road, the rider is just asking to be it hit by veering into the whole road rather than staying close to the shoulder/bike lane.
