not sureLondon Mayor Ken Livingstone is considering plans for registration and number plates for bicycles in a bid to combat the menace of law-breaking cyclists.
A ban on jaywalking is also being investigated, he said, as he outlined plans for a bill designed to catch those riders who stray on to the pavement and go through red lights.
He said: "I think, I'm now persuaded we should actually say that bikes and their owners, should be registered. There should be a number plate on the back so that the ones breaking the law, we can get them off the cameras. It's the only way you can do it.
"You've got to have legislation, but I think, most likely we'll look at putting up what's called a private bill and I think I can get the London boroughs, all of them, irrespective of parties, to most likely go along with that and have a proper vehicle/bicycle registration
I am not sure if this is plain daft or a brilliant idea
