Totally agree about bells on bikes, compulsory use of bike lanes and prosecution of cyclists who ignore traffic lights. Cyclists are rarely a danger to motorised traffic but should be required to cycle responsibly. As a cyclist I've never bumped into anyone but as a pedestrian I have quite often experienced ridiculously entitled, aggressive, almost silent cyclists, especially on towpaths. The worst seem to favour Lycra and are probably trying to set a new personal record for the route.
