Any kind of vehicle that cannot be insured shouldn't be on the road. I support bike lanes, but when these aren't viable, the sidewalk should be the standard. If a cyclist hits a pedestrian on the sidewalk, it could lead to a pretty bad injury, but both parties will almost certainly survive the experience. If a cyclist gets hit by a car, they'd be lucky to survive in any capacity. Side: They're a menace on the roads.

When in packs cyclists purposefully try to antagonize other road users by blocking complete lanes and failing to tighten up their spread-out formations on hearing the honk of a horn. One motorist with maybe one or two passengers is no match against a mob of a dozen or more cycling bandits who are out looking for, and causing trouble. Side: Wilfully block traffic.
