It seems Mr. Cheerful was right about the criminal/cycling connection

"The number of thefts carried out by criminals on bicycles has tripled
in the past two years, figures show.
Statistics from Scotland Yard show there were 3,754 reported snatchings
in the capital last year, up from 1,214 thefts in 2010.
All these crimes specifically relate to snatches by thieves riding
bicycles".

Dreadful. Clear case for registration so these crims can be traced.

Motorists pay £45 billion a year in extra taxes, specifically so they
can use the roads.
Only £10 billion of this is spent on roads.
