Assemblywoman Tucker has proposed a bill in NJ to require anyone riding a bicycle on public NJ highways or land to pay a $10 registration fee every 2 years. If not paid cyclist can get a $100 fine.
This new bill will discourage some people to ride their bikes on NJ's beautiful bicycle routes or to use their bicycle in general for exercise or transportation in NJ.
Please contact Assemblywoman Tucker either by calling her office ( 973-926-4320) or
e-mailing her. You can also leave a message for her on the
New Jersey Legislature website.
