I see that e-bikes are becoming an issue. I don't agree that people over 50 should have safety training, as one reader suggested based on their experience that relying on trial and error can have unforeseen unfortunate outcomes (Letters, Jan 12).
That is like saying you can't get
a driver's license unless you have had a mental test and that won't happen.
All bike riders should have to pay - like in other countries - to use the road.
In my opinion, they expect everything for nothing and are going to push up ACC levies that the general public pay on top of their tax.
If cyclists had to pay, except for school students, they would be identifiable by a payment disc or the like on the bike so that any stupid antics can be reported, and penalties handed out, like road users.
