it's not nonsense, what is nonsense is letting people with no training whatsoever onto our ever increasing dangerous roads.
A licence is proof of meeting a minimum required standard of proficiency to operate a bicycle on the road.
I didn't say anything about insurance, however a wise person would insure themselves 3rd party at least, lest you risk losing a few quid if you cause an accident, or in a worse case scenario, you house.
Enforcement, you don't need to enforce it. I have a driving and motorbike licence, I've had them check by the police once in 27years.
But if the police should ever want to check it, i have it.
If you don't want to do any of this then, stick to tow paths and green lanes.
