If we argue a bike is a vehicle, then it should have similar vehicle laws. At night: headlight, tail light and side clearance lights.

I know some will disagree, so I'll stop now, but simply make up your minds: are bike vehicles or toys. Your answer to that question will direct your answer to this question
Why stop there, require side extentions to have turn signals, and 200 pound suspension systems, do not forget the ABS braking system (maybe even consider air brakes just like the big boy trucks have, include bumpers and a front crumple zone, seat belts and air bags. So what else should we add to make some of us feel secure in not being toys?
