Something like 6 thousands. To become a rider, there is a
qualification procedure, for sure. It is also very similar in Belgium. First,
to get a licence, one has to succeed in a exam. Depending on the type of
license (don't ask me the details because I don't know) requirements
change.
Is the license issued by the *governments*? Or is there an
association
that sanctions the rides and administers the tests and gives the
qualified
people their "license" and has a rule that only people with a license
are allowed to enter a sanctioned ride?
That is, is the government involved in the rider licensing, or is it
just
a private organization that basically has a rule that you have to
pass
