We have way too many laws on the books in the US already.
If the cyclists would just realize that they are causing a problem,
and start using courtesy and reasonable discretion in choosing where
to ride, then no new restrictions would be needed, and public
animosity toward them would go away.
Cyclists on roads with a designated bike lane present no hazard or
obstruction, and those who want a downhill thrill can find steep
places (like a ski run during the summer) where there will not be any
hikers and uphill riders to mow down.
A much bigger problem, though, is slow moving vehicles, leaving a
recreation area. Their mirrors should tell them that traffic is
backing up, but they don't pull at the next turnout and let people
pass.
