Parking in Waterloo Region

[clasher]

I think cyclists should pay an annual fee to register their bikes, pay for manditory basic training courses (that remind them it's illegal to blow through red lights), and use that to help pay for their infrastructure. Just like car owners have been doing since time immemorial.

Running a registration and training scheme is going to cost more than it will ever net in revenue. There's not even a mandatory driver training course; any training course is optional for drivers. The real effect of ideas like mandatory training, insurance or helmet laws is discourage casual use of cycles.
