You're suggesting that requiring bicyclists to be licensed would kill people?

Requiring licensing for cyclists could indirectly result in more deaths depending on the change in other behaviours.

Off the top of my head, walking is more risky per mile for the traveller than cycling while driving is safer per mile, but increases your risk of obesity and DVT and is more dangerous for everyone else in terms of pollution and accidents.

It would have that effect, obviously. Is this not something you've thought about before?
