By licensing bikes you also get a real number of cyclists not a made up number to push forward an agenda. It works both ways, if there's an increase in yearly bike licences then bike lanes get more funding.
Bike helmets on all roadways should also be mandatory just like they are for motorcycles.

More business for insurance companies too, as well as registries. Also, having a bike licensed might assist in recovering stolen bikes more easily. At least I think it would!
