And why not?  Because of... cars.

Ok, not cars, exactly, but incompetent motorists operating without
proper caution or preparation.   How many cars in Michigan have snow
tires installed in the winter?  I'll wager $100 that fewer than half of
them do.  Restricting cars is mostly a proxy for restricting
incompetent motorists.

Many of the national driving enthusiasts organizations share the goal
of raising competency levels.  Maybe the bike and motorists advocacy
organizations could cooperate on this one?
