    No Captain, in accordance with Federation regulations on needless bureacracy the EU has decreed that people may ride their bikes without number plates, airbags and associated vehicular dross.

    However, the Klingons have recently declared war on the Romulans for attempting to enforce mandatory helmet use within their territorial volume.

    Helmets don't save lives, however if you have a high-vis jacket on you'll be perfectly safe. Bar any Klingon attacks.

    I paid VAT on my bikes and I have license to race.

    Given all commuting is commuting racing and my licence covers me for training and racing I've got a licence and insurance. No tax though.

    On the continent though I believe drivers are properly educated and not allowed drive until they are compentent.

    Ha ha Ha very funny lads with the star trek jokes,

    What I mean is do other European country's force you to have a license
    or number plate to cycle on the streets.

    I heard a rumor that they will try do this in ireland.

    I heard a rumour that there is a video of Diana Troy and Beverly Crusher going at it on the web.

    I don't believe there is. The subject of licencing and taxing comes up regularly enough and nobody has ever mentioned it.

    In the US there are apparently quite a number of places that require a licence. These seem very cheap and not much of an imposition to use. As such they don't really suit the agenda of those who are wont to insist cyclists should pay tax and have a licence.

    For example, California. $3 for three years, you get a sticker that you put on your seat tube.
