Can anyone comment on this? Seems to make sense since one does not need a license to ride. If a person didn't have a driver's license at all, what would the police do? I don't know. I'll probably regret posting this.
Not at all. I do the same. I don't carry ID unless I'm driving. I don't live in your area / country, but here they can't ask you to identify yourself if you did not commit or are not suspected to having committed an infraction, felony, etc.
If you commit an offense (IE running a stop sign) while riding your bike, then you may be required to identify yourself, and may be arrested if you refuse to do so.
