Considering the increased lunacy we are seeing from cyclists who blatently flout the law I see this as the only way forward, probably just on adult cycles but as you use the road the same as a motorcyclist then I see no reason for such measures not to be brought out.
If this does come about it will be because of the idiots not the person who abides by the law but even some so called law abiding cyclists in all the gear will still take risks and illegal shortcuts just to shave a few seconds of their journey.
Also if the is an accident and it was caused by the cyclist how do we claim from them and why should my insurance pay out for something they caused.
Look to your fellow cyclists first as they are the problem as to many think that they can do what they want without any regard for other road users or even pedestrians.
