Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
Spite is a lousy reason to make policy decisions. The city saves money every time someone decides to use active transportation instead of driving or transit. Bike licensing will provide a huge disincentive to those who would bike -- especially casual cyclists -- particularly if you set the fee at a cost-recovery level. The annual licensing fee would end up costing as much or more than the bike.
If you want to get creative, look at licensing bike messengers. That's somewhat more doable.
