i always have an id when not at home, but thats just because my id is my driver's license. in a city with lots of public transportation options, i can see why someone wouldn't have any ID unless they're going to buy alcohol or something. irregardless i am opposed to people being forced to have an ID at all times in case a cop gets uppity, and interestingly enough the same people who were mad about vaccine records appear to not have a problem with something like this happening

If you're using the roadway several states and cities require you to carry a government ID for the purpose of writing you tickets. Generally speaking, in those places if you can't provide one you will be detained and taken to the police station until your identity can be verified. While their, your bike will almost surely be stolen.
