But should cyclists (at least in cities) be required to carry insurance if they're going be in traffic?

Probably not. As Jim points out, most cyclists can cover the damage they cause. And doing so would create a barrier that would reduce the amount of people who bike for transportation - which is the opposite of stated goals. So the costs are high and the benefits are low.
