Every time the powers that be look at licensing they always come to the same conclusion, it's not cost effective. Not to mention, as was posted earlier, the law simply doesn't understand the ins/outs of city riding. Alot of what I do in traffic on my bike getting back and forth on city streets is simply to be safe. Crushing myself up against the curb to ride, the way motorists envision we should, simply isn't safe. Road rules, vis-a-vis the law, does nothing to keep cyclists safe, and IMHO may in fact add to the danger. Luckily in Toronto I am allowed to take a lane, just have to be be picky in when/where you do it. (Generally a motorist has no clue this is true by law in Toronto, and get reeeally testy when you point it out. That's when you get the inferred death by motor vehicle threat/warning. 'Yea I'd love to see you try that with me behind you....'
