that is more for a permit for my canoe, where the money goes to upkeep of minnesota water ways and is less than a motor boat.

I suppose I would not mind a small registration fee if that money actually went to something dedicated to bikes such as bike lanes, direct trails, and biking amenities like bike lockers and showers at work. I would much prefer that instead of parking lanes for cabs and other miscellaneous cars, a scraped up bike that someone felt the need to bash around, and smelling like diesel and sweat.
