A Georgia law maker want to register bikes (an idea worth considering) and to allow state and local government to restrict where and when cyclists can use the road (not an idea worthy of consideration). And why? Because cycling is getting too popular, of course. Before we look down our noses as "backward" Georgia, remember our state is the one where one town, Blackhawk, tried to ban bicycles entirely. dc.streetsblog.org/2013/10/07/cycling-so-popular-in-georgia-that-lawmaker-carl-rogers-wants-to-ban-it/ Seriously, though, these proposed laws that redefine a bicycle as something other than a vehicle equal to any motorized vehicle pose a real threat to cycling nation-wide.
