Wow. Move over Cali and floriduh. NC is trying to compete with stupid.. https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/n...inians-to-register-bicycles-pay-fee/925473034
I'm stupefied. Had you said it was a D rep from Raleigh, I wouldn't have had any reaction. Par for the course. But an R from Alexander County??? I'm... confused.
I totally agree. Bike Lanes? The whole county he is from is all back roads. Must be tired of the urban cyclists slowing his commute on his John Deere.
Now, if they could talk everyone of you tofu kale eating dickbags to ride on the sidewalks, or heaven forbid, the millions of dollars worth of paved bike trails, we would be good! But you guys are too kool for that!
Illegal to be on sdewalks here over 12yrs old. And the bike trails are usuall full of idiot pedestrians with strollers and dogs (even the times of year they arent allowed).
I am 62 years old and I remember we had bicycle license plates, metal ones, when I was a 7 year old kid. It was a city law (Norfolk, Va) The cops were serious about it too. At least we didn't have to wear a helmet.
How about the custom plate "Mike" that I had to wait 4-6 weeks for before it arrived all the way from Battle Creek, MI addressed with my name prefaced by Master?
There was zero chance of finding my name on the plate in my peanut butter crunch. You would think that with a name like Horatio, the Cap'n would have taken care of those of us not blessed with mundane monikers. That is probably the sole reason that I never became my generation's Lance fucking Armstrong.
When the city put in the 'bike paths' it was actually brought up by some of the local cycling club. Since at the time in the papers editorial section, there was people whining about bikes being on the roads, they said well then the bike paths should then be for bicycles only, no pedestrians. Oh shit the screaming was hilarious. The city just converted a 2 lane 1 way street to 2 way last fall (been a 1 way since 1955). Going up the steepish hill (3 blocks long), instead of having a "bikes only" 6' wide section like other areas where we have this, they put up a "Bikes allowed to use full lane" signs up. OK so some bicyclist tries to ride up this hill at maybe a 7mph pace in the middle of the lane now gets to hold up traffic? Ya know someone is gonna eventually do something stupid.
They already tax the air you exhale. All that Co2, you know. You're essentially just a short smokestack.
