I would say a bicycling test once a year in grades 3-10 ages 8-16, call it pre-drivers education. *Then when you are old enough to get a car drivers license, you just need to learn about cars, you already know the rules of the road. By the way, http://www.bikelib.org/ has a good 2007 rules of the road video, free to watch or burn to CD. A 1963 movie is on http://www.youtube.com/ and seach for 'One Got Fat'. |

[Removed from rec.bicycles.rides where this was NEVER on-topic.]
=v= The potential and actual damages of bicycles don't come anywhere near those of motorized vehicles. It's simply not worth the price of the bureaucracy involved. =v= If the world's most repressive regimes can get by without demanding licensing of bicyclists, I think free countries could somehow manage to muddle through without it as well. _Jym_ |

Trouble is, there's no such thing as a cycling test, which is
blatantly obvious when you observe the behaviour of cyclists. =v= I suppose that if we were to undergo testing then we could then aspire to the sterling achievements of motorists, who kill and maim far greater numbers of people and destroy communities and ecosystems far more effectively than bicyclists do. _Jym_ |

How about needing to pass a test and get licensed to post to Usenet? Simply some people should not be driving! Simply, some people should not be posting to Usenet. -- Tom Sherman - 42.435731,-83.985007 If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the precipitate.
