Some people want cyclists to pay for bike registration and plates.

How do you feel about this?

Personally, as long as the prices are fair, since a bike isn't a heavy vehicle that wears down roads, emits no pollutants, and requires no gas consumption, I could agree with it. However, I would not agree to pay the same cost as a car driver, because we don't have the same impacts as car drivers.

The unfair part is this: I choose to ride my bike, and they choose to drive their car. They can choose to ride instead, but they don't, so why should it be their business since I chose something different than them?

How do you all feel about this issue?
