    I called, and they're going to e-mail me whether you have to be a member (when the guy running the program gets into the office), but the guy I talked to didn't think so.

    I had just renewed mine when this one came, and it's not a problem to replace it. All you have to do is return the old tag to the DMV, which of course presents its own set of hassles.

    Very cool.

    And if I saw that low-number plate out on the road I would automatically assume some official or dignitary was driving.

    You do have to be a WABA member. Here's the scoop.

    Edit: I can't get the embedded web link to work on my computer. If the link above doesn't work, here it is: http://www.waba.org/areabiking/MDPlates.php

    Very cool.

    However, if youare ever driving drunk or erratically, everyone will definitely remember your license plate number so that they can call the police on you.

    I cheaped out when it turned out you had to be a member. That just seemed lame.

    Cool!

    I told them I was interested when they first were looking for the 25 minimum, but ended up getting tri club plates before these became available.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I've got one of those stickers on my car that tells the cops to pull it over and verify the registration if they see it out after 1 am or something like that, because the lame-o person who owns the car is supposed to be in bed by then. So not likely I'll be driving drunk or erratically, and if I am then the cops probably should be called.

    My WABA membership is good through 2011 so that was already a sunk cost for me. I like what WABA does, so I'm happy to pay the membership fee.

    I joined One Less Car so I could be notified of Tour du Port every year, but I haven't gotten around to joining WABA. Which is why I never know about things like this.

    Ha! I can't imagine there are too many dignitaries who would drive a 10-year-old station wagon with bike and kayak racks on it, but I puffed up my chest just a bit when I read your comment!
