More barriers to cycling means more cars which means more dead cyclists. Help us defeat this terrible anti-safety bill.

We just battled HB1703 for mandatory bike registration for all bikes in New Hampshire. They wanted $50/yr PER BIKE with a $100 fine for not having a registration. It had something like 30 in support, 14,000 in opposition.

That would be a fucking disaster for me. I'm not even sure how many bikes I actually own (especially when you include incomplete projects), and even the low estimate would cost more per year than registration for my (also too many) cars!
