British Columbia plans to implement a graduated licensing policy for motorcyclists, limiting new riders to smaller engines and less power. Other new rules will:

* eliminate lame beanie helmets

* require all riders and passengers to have their feet on footpegs or floorboards

It's a good move, in my opinion.

Where the heck have the passengers been putting their feet?

Sounds like a less extreme version of what they do in Germany. Personally, I also think it's a good idea.

Well, little kids with short legs, for example.

That's nuts dude, everybody knows you put the kid in front of you with his legs dangling over the triple clamp.
