Since March I have been back getting the miles in, after coming off in April 2021 in a bad crash and then in July 2022 my bike frame cracking at the seat post. Under warranty but Brexit shipping issues did mean I only got the new bike frame late November. It’s great being back in the saddle.

So this wasn’t you then?
I’d love to post on this thread.
But I have a tandem.

That’s terrible, but I laughed! 
Can’t see how they can enforce this, especially with the number of kids on bikes, but I do agree that a lot of cyclists ignore (or don’t know) the laws of the road.
“Cyclists may need number plates” is the headline in the Daily Mail, which says that a radical shake-up is under way of road laws. It says a review has been launched amid “growing belief among ministers” that people who ride bikes should be subject to the same laws as motorists. The paper reports cyclists could require insurance so they can be traced easily.
But the Transport Secretary Grant Shapps tells the Times that he’s “not attracted to the bureaucracy of registration plates” on bicycles.
However, he does believe that cyclists should be fined for breaking speed limits in residential areas saying that “there is definitely a hard core of cyclists who seem to think the laws of the road don’t apply to them”.
How fucking big will this number plate need to be for someone to get the details if the cyclist jumping the lights is hammering along at 20mph?
Where will they put it?
Given the police ignore most motorists jumping lights as they turn red these days, good luck with enforcing this
If they want to legislate- sort out e bikes and scooter especially those sit on ones that seem to have a 30mph + top speed

On the back of their Lycra jersey? 
Thinking about it, when did it become compulsory to wear Lycra to ride a bike?
Lycra is the preserve of cock-rock metal bands surely?
It saves 15 watts
A typical weekend at Box Hill in Surrey for our Lycra clad friends tbf
