A GOP brainfart: Mandatory bicycle registration

In my home state of Georgia, of all places.

A group of Republican state lawmakers propose a law that would require bicycle registration:

The bill draws no distinction between a $3,000 carbon-fiber wonder and a $50 Wal-Mart special with training wheels. And no more passing that outgrown bike to the next kid in line – not without an official transfer of the 4”-by-7” license plate, approved by the government.

Still think the GOP is party of smaller, less intrusive government? Think again..
