I strongly oppose a bill that requires people who ride bicycles to register them for 50.00 each year. Many of the families in my town (where we have a well-supported rail trail) ride their bicycles together for a healthy activity that gets the family out together for exercise and gets the kids off of their devices. Leveraging a potential 200$ per year tax on them is ludicrous. Others, who have less means, need their bikes as a mode of transportation to get to the store for groceries. Leveraging such a tax on them is cruel and unjust. If NH needs this revenue so badly, why do the members of the House keep lowering taxes for big business and very wealthy individuals? Regarding the environment, why on earth (pun intended) would our state want to discourage biking, and at the same time revoke the inspection of cars, so that they can pollute our beautiful state?
