I am really getting a laugh at the continued windmill swinging

"If you've managed to collide with multiple cyclists, you really need to take a good look at how you're driving"

No, reading comprehension is key. I didn't collide with anyone. Two cyclist collided with me. Can't be responsible for the cognitive dissonance that preceeds someone literally blowing through a redlight on a 6 lane road /4 way intersection and caving in my door, anymore than I can be held responsible for riding their bike the wrong way on a one way street.

Clear now?

"And again, what is your plan to deal with young cyclists?"

Young, old, it doesn' matter. I am not saying every cul de sac in DC (are there any) needs liscensed / insured cyclists, but once you've identified where (you could start with main arterials and work down to side streets) it would be required of any vehicle driving in the travel lane. Crossing the street at a cross walk is not classified in any book as "driving a street legal vehical in a travel lane".

In fact, the entire thing is pretty simple. Cycling on sidewalks is already banned in the central busines district. Passing legislation requiring all vehicles allowed by law to drive in the travel lane to carry insurance could too.

Proceed to more windmill swinging!
