1. I would like to buy some bicycle insurance like the kind you want to require. Where should I buy it?

2. Perhaps we should require every pedestrian to buy walker's insurance and to walk around with a plate on their rear-end.

3. Where would one attach the plate to their bike? How big would it be. Would it be large enough to actually be read. Would it be someplace where your coat wouldn't cover it up? The technical aspects of this are simply impossible to work out.

4. The primary purpose of tags is for tax collection.

5. What do you do about children on bikes? Do they need insurance too? How much would that cost considering how much more prone they are to crashes?

6. Where is the need for this? Show me cases where people are injured by cyclists and are unable to have their expenses covered because the cyclist doesn't have insurance. Otherwise this is a solution in search of a problem. And forcing cyclists to buy insurance for their OWN protection is both counterproductive and probably un-Constitutional.
