Re: licensing for bikes.
I have gone on record as accepting that licenses could be a good thing for bikes: mostly because it will remove the false canard that bikes don't pay for the roads.

However, the main reason we license cars and not bikes is because of their potential for injury. The greater the potential for injury to others, and the greater the skill required to operate it, the more stringent are the licensing requirements. e.g. trucks>cars, and vehicle paid to carrying others > personal use. So, while a bike can damage and kill, it is far less of a problem than a car.
