"The idea behind a bike license is to increase your credibility."

No, the idea seems to be to raise revenue from cyclists (revenue that would go to the province, not the municipality - so no more money for infrastructure, sorry) and to make it more difficult for people to make the switch to cycling, a switch that benefits everyone. Your idea is a non-starter, A Smith, as has been pointed out a lot of times before.

Bike behaviour is already well-regulated by law. There is no need for a licensing system to regulate driver ability either - compared with motor vehicles, bicycles are extremely safe at all skill levels.
