" Maybe require one for bikers who pilot of non-residential streets. "

Why is riding on a residential street (where there are more likely to be peds) less in need of a license than elsewhere? People keep saying this is about protecting peds, but they mostly insist on licenses for folks riding in the street, in busy areas, where bike ped conflicts are less common, and bike - AUTO conflicts are more common.

"Also, maybe the city should offer these licenses for free through a counselor's office in school."

Kids biking is often spontaneous - requiring a license would mean less of it, and would contribute to childhood obesity, and thus would be more dangerous kids.
