Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] HB 3008 (license bicycles)
HB 3008 requires registration only for bicycles ridden on state highways. Bikes ridden in towns on city-owned roads would not need to be licensed, nor would mountain bikes ridden only off-road. However, many roads that appear to be city-owned are, in fact, state highways. On this basis alone the bill is unworkable.

My question is, would I have to register all 10 bikes in my house hold? My 5 mountain bikes (3 mine and 1 wife and 1 son) Only one of those even sees the pavement (the one I ride to work). The others I drive to the dirt then ride. I guess you could say but I drive my car to where I am going to ride. But I already pay for that. Who do we need to call to make a stink with?
