Doesn't the fact the cyclist in this case came forward to speak to the
police clearly demonstrated that bicycle registration plates would have
been completely unnecessary?

Of course not - how many times have we seen examples being pasted on this
group where the cyclist just rides away never to be seen again?
Just because there is one cyclist with a sense of guilt it doesn't mean
that they all behave in the same way.
