Bicycles are one of the few remaining non-trivial, non-electric machines that ordinary people use.

I'd prefer to leave them alone.

Seriously, I have a hard time thinking of many machines that fit that description.

Most bicycle people including myself feel that way. However, what I like about this attempt to make bikes safer (ie turn signals and the like) is that it might make people who don't feel safe on a bike actually ride their bike. Bikes for everyone!
We can totally have both "old" bikes and new ones.
Until governments start deciding that these are mandatory safety features.
