Me doing my part to portray car dependency as deeply unpatriotic. Which it kinda unironically is.

Bikes are the rides of libertarians.

No license

No registration

No taxes through gas

Just hard work and freedom!

What the fuck

Is there also a minimum age limit?

I'm unclear. I moved here when I was 40. So I assume I'm old enough.

Moved where? What city?

Looking at that, there's a few places that require registration, often as an anti theft thing.

Pyongyang seems to need a license, although if he lives there he's in more trouble than needing a bike license.

That whole article is a lot of words that says absolutely nothing.

I don't disagree, but it is at least pre-AI apocalypse.

If you have a better source feel free to share with the group.

Im asking for proof of this so-called bicycle registration and license. The link you provided doesn't clear anything up in the slightest. I cannot prove a negative.

How exactly does this work? Where do you put the license plate? Do you have pictures?

Living the sovcit dream.

If it breaks you just fix it. No help needed (but plenty offered from libertarian socialists)
