Nothing, as long as the laws are also commensurate with being able to travel safely.

If we want special treatment such as Idaho stops and cycling infrastructure because of the nature of bicycles, shouldn't we also accept some reasonable restrictions because of their nature too?
Yes. There are all kinds of restrictions - limited access highways, having to add additional equipment that typically doesn't come with a bike to make it street legal, being unable to use roads with high enough minimum speed limits.

None of these apply to Cherokee's situation.

Who believes cyclists alone should have unrestricted rights?
Only the strawmen.
