The article title says "bike trails", but it says "shared trails" in the body. I can understand limits on shared paths, but it's hard to see the point on bike only ones?

"having points put on their license" Do you need a bike license in SF?

Where I am, bicycle infractions will land you demerit points on your drivers license.

Which leads to awkward things like being fines for riding a bicycle drunk, losing your car license from it, but still being able to ride your bike because you don't need a car license for that.

There are very few if any bike-only trails in the Marin public open spaces. Generally there are hiking only, hiking/horse and hiking/horse/bike trails. There's no horse-only or bike-only or horse/bike trails.

$200 fines (incl. court fees) for a speeding ticket on bicycle are also a bit absurd.
