From the Potomac Pedalers Touring Club (http://www.bikepptc.org/):

The Virginia legislature has approved and the Governor signed a bill for a special interest license plate for Bicyclists. The slogan on the license plate will be "Bicycles Belong". In addition, there will be a graphic of a bicycle. The cost of this plate is $10.00 In order for the plate to be made, a pre-order of 350 plates must be received. BikeWalkVirginia (formerly, Bike Virginia) is collecting the applications. Please go to www.bikewalkvirginia.org (http://www.bikewalkvirginia.org) for instructions and to download the application. There will also be a link on www.dctandems.org We must submit the 350 applications to DMV before December 31st, so please complete your application and mail with your check as soon as possible.

A special thanks to Del. Vivian E. Watts (39th District, Fairfax County) and Del. William K. Barlow (64th District, Smithfield) for sponsoring the license plate for us.

Thanks for the reminder, I have been meaning to submit my application since I read about it in the club newsletter.

Phew. I thought they were actually going to make us buy bicycle licences there for a minute.

Anyone else find it ironic that an orgainization called bikewalk Virginia is sponsoring a licence plate for cars?

That's cool. I need to make my brother buy the license plate since he just moved there. Thanks for the heads up.

South Carolina already has bicycling plates. As soon as my tags get ready to expire, I'm going to get them.

We need to get him on a bike first! I'm thinking about it...they aren't doing well on their numbers.
