If you call a bicycle a vehicle instead of a sport, it should be encouraged (perhaps even subsidized) - not actively discouraged.

MN: I haven't heard any justification for not registering your bike. I think Don Greely made excellent points for doing it. I've got stickers up and down the frame on my bike. Ten bucks apiece. If I can afford it, I don't think it's a hardship for Mr. Rubberpants on that $1500.00 Mondo Mud Jumper that he rides once a week around Lake Nokomis, or for the Hard Times bike club. ( I always smile when I see their tall bikes.) Mike Nelson Central TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2.
