Tougher laws needed for cyclists

What is it going to take for politicians of all political stripes B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·” both provincially and federally B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·” to wake up and see that a major shake up is needed in our judicial and transportation systems?

IB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™m talking about cyclists.

All cyclists should have insurance, be licensed and wear a helmet. Bicycles should have their licence visibly displayed, have a horn and working signal lights. These rules need to be strictly enforced.

Explain one thing, and this is a true story as it happened to a colleague of mine: If a pedestrian is in a marked crosswalk and gets hit by a cyclist who doesnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t stop to help, and in the meantime the victimB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s medical bills are steadily rising, is that fair?

An answer would be greatly appreciated.
