Bicycle license?
Since bicyclists are granted all the rights and responsibilities as drivers of vehicles, are cyclists required to have a driver’s licence? No. §28-3151. sets forth the conditions requiring a license: “a person shall not drive a motor vehicle … on a highway without a valid driver license”. Bicycles are not motor vehicles, they are not even vehicles under Arizona law, see §28-101 — therefore no license is required.
