Cyclists
10-21-2015
For once, I agree with Vancouver Mayor Robertson that cyclists need to be licensed and regulated just like motorists.
Please see a copy of a letter I had written a few years ago, below:
Dear Sirs:
Enough about cyclists already! They need to be licensed and regulated just like vehicles. This is what I propose:
* Annual licence fee of $100. Before they get the licence, the bike should be inspected to make sure that it is safe and meets all safety regulations (see below)
* Rear mudguards on all bicycles; should have reflective stripes on the rear guard so that the cyclist can be seen at night
* Front light: most cyclists still do not have any lights in the front. They ALL need to have light in the front
* Horn / bell on the handlebar to warn pedestrians
* Must flow WITH the traffic not against it. In other wrods, KEEP RIGHT
* Safety helmets to be worn at all times
With these few safety standards, ALL will be safe on the roads
Sincerely,
M Hajee
