It's probably more relevant to require a licence to change a bike tyre. T. |

Are seat belts in cars and helmets for motorcycles stupid? You keep bringing in motor cycle helmets and seat belts which are a different kettle of fish and I am not discussing them. Cyclists have zero protection and are often difficult to see, better to be seen than dead or seriously injured. With a visible number cyclists could be identified when they break the road rules, couldn't have cyclists obey the road now could we. Most ordinary people look at these things like lights on, fluro clothing etc because their mind thinks that it would fix things because it sounds to them so sensible that it would fix things which is not necessarily the case statistically Lights on frinstance has for and against studies, Long term usually against. When you mandate lights on,at first stats drop but soon resume the same or worse stats as before have not looked at fluoro vest studies yet. Just look at reversing beepers, when only a few trucks had them they worked well but as they become more prolific the brain starts to ignore them as they are so common and they do not have the same effect as they once did,same with lights on and probably fluoro vests. Maybe Paul can come up with the west aus stats on injuries prevented after the introduction of bicycle helmets and the effect on bicycle use after the introduction |

It was a gimmick, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronan_(bicycle) Probably only feasible with a rear fender or rack. |
