As to bicycle registration, I'm always curious how visitors are handled.
Can't ask visitors to register. Runs up against the interstate commerce clause.
Otherwise, I'd have to license my car in Maryland when I drive over the Maryland/Virginia border.
Similar cases have gone to the Supreme court, involving taxi registration in North Carolina towns.
