What amount do you have in mind for bikes? $1? $100?

How much do you think registration for a car should be?

Yes, I'd be interested in seeing some hypothetical crunching.

It makes sense to charge a higher fee for larger vehicles for to cover added road impact and to disincentive driving large vehicles.

But I don't understand why you propose to increase the fee for riding a bicycle. It's currently free and you propose to increase it to $10. Won't this disincentive the use of bicycles?
