There have been recent calls for mandatory tests for
cyclists

before they are permitted on public motorways. In my opinion, though
this
Linking Words
proposal must be managed properly it is advisable. Detractors argue
this
Linking Words
reform is essentially a complex method of fixing a problem that does not exist. Riding a bike is a fairly simple skill that most people learn as children. It is unclear at what age
such
Linking Words
a test and license should be logistically required. The extra paperwork and bureaucracy would make it a negative for both

and those charged with enforcing

law. If passed, there is
also
Linking Words
the strong likelihood that it would be tokenistic.
Cyclists
Use synonyms
might be able to pass a basic written test and demonstrate the ability to ride a bike but that would not ensure they will actually be safe riders.
However
Linking Words
, in my opinion, there exists a need since most
cyclists

are not particularly cognizant of the hierarchy of vehicles. In most cities,
cyclists

are considered a menace or an annoyance and increase the odds of accidents. Many
cyclists

feel they are essentially the same as cars and weave into traffic where cars and motorbikes travelling at faster speeds rightly belong. If there was better education and a law that required

would greatly enhance road conditions for motorists and pedestrians.
For instance

has created a culture where bicycles fit into the flow of traffic more seamlessly. In conclusion,
although

there are significant practical hurdles, I believe requiring
cyclists

to apply for licenses addresses a key public road issue. Governments should
therefore

enact
this

or similar regulation.
