As far as questions you asked: bikes are supposed to ride on roads it is illegal for them to ride on sidewalks. Bikes don’t have motors therefore they are not motor vehicles and need not require a license. You mention snowmobiles, but as you and I both know, those have "motors" hence the license... but as I answered your questions before and you don't seem to want to acknowledge the answers, that is your problem and not mine.
And if you've ever ridden a bike in traffic you know how gross the pollution is because you don't even have to stick your face on an exhaust because you get just enough from everyone else. I don't have a "filter" on my bike to shield me from fumes. You also don't understand how people have run people I know including myself off streets by side swiping them or the complete lack of respect for bicyclists (i.e. the honking and jeers etc).
Now, you personally may not be guilty of any of this, except perhaps the part about exhaust, after all you are driving a car, but it happens pretty regularly especially in places like Rochester where there are not enough bikers on the roads. I hope more people will be getting involved in cycling cause then they can tell you of their stories and perhaps start making progressive change happen for cyclists in the city and suburbs.
If you’d like to keep on keeping on killing hamsters in your car and ignoring the fact that the bicycle will out live your fossil-fuel death machine by all means go ahead. That doesn’t mean I’m going to stop riding in roads and letting people know what I think of their shitty driving when they try to cut me off, run me over, yell, honk, and pollute the air I have to breath to keep going.
Have a beautiful afternoon.
