Not wanting to
but I agree with Cpt there.. just saying that I have several registered vehicles means I can have a non registered vehicle that can ONLY use a sealed road is in it's self rather silly.. I am sure we all have more than 1 car and 1 motorbike we have to register (I have 4 rego's each year plus the bike)
I mean if thats the case all the track rider we have here would love to be able to ride their bike to track as it covers all the same rules as a cyclist... in fact they have to adhere to a stricter set of rules for safety plus wear much more protective gear (hey simmo.. you wanna do a few laps in licra? )
While the user pays system is what is bringing down the USA IMO I do think that the riders should have least be covered by some type of insurance. Here in Tas the mandatory insurance is part of the rego (MAIB) and cover personal injury only.
Of course I think any type of cyclist rego should only be applied to the road racers that can only use a sealed surface.. mountain bikes, BMX's and other such bikes that can happily leave the road shouldn't be touched.. bit hard to ask little 8 yr old Johnny for rego to ride to school lol
