For these past few weeks, I would've loved having a bike to get around.
However, for the rest of the year (and for most other tasks than simply "going to places"), a bike seems a bit useless for me. Even if it's considerably cheaper in the long run, it's considerably more dangerous.
That said, schemes to get people onto motorbikes seems like a positive thing. More of the population riding them would probably make it safer in general (because more people would be aware of them). I'm not entirely against the concept of having car drivers do some motorbike lessons, or having a combined licence. I would like to have a driving licence which is valid towards motorbikes. I can't afford to get qualified and to do theory tests which are going to be highly similar to the one I have already done to drive my car for the past several years.
More flexibility and more people using them would probably give me a reason to invest. The rules and regulations on bike licensing are confusing to many people and it just makes it a hassle.
