a horn or a bell is required on a bicycle?

What would the fines be if you had the same infractions in a car?

Seems as though they are treating bicycles like cars now - but are they giving them special bike lanes where they can be safe from cars?

I've had my foot broken about 15 yearsa go by a bicyclist who was going the wrong way down a one way street, and basically was running a light - as he plowed right over me and my foot - I'm not sure it's unreasonable to ask bicyclists to share the rules of the road...
