      Regulations would show that the bike manufacturers would be doing their part to increase safety.

      Regulations would show that the bicycle owners would have to purposefully go out of their way to make their bikes faster.

      Regulations allow us to hold people accountable when the rules are broken or when negligent accidents happen.
