Might as well include bicycles too while we're at it. US News ranks NH 44th worst out of 50 states for transportation infrastructure. CNBC gives NH an 'F'.

If we still don't have enough cash then we can forage for scraps - wagons, rafts, tricycles, drones, SUPs, baby carriages...

Default Route 49 has two bike lanes, both sides, north & south

It is somewhat interesting that Rt-49, 12 miles length, running through Campton, Thornton and Waterville Valley from Route 93-Exit 28 to Waterville Valley is maybe the only state road in central NH that has three foot wide, paved shoulders or side lanes suitable for bicycles.

It was totally re-constructed with these new "bicycle" lanes added in about 1982 during the Gov John Sununu administration.

Here's a big thank-you for building Route 49 with these well designed bike lanes going out to Governor John Sununu. Whatever extra it cost, it was money very well spent. It's a beautiful 12-mile bicycle pedal, traveling within the woods of the WMNF, and running along the nearby Mad River.

Lemonade stand. Five $1.00 servings sold and they've got their sticker.

“Children” do not belong on our roadways!

Bicycles...

I lived in a town that required bikes to be registered, when I was a kid. I never heard of anyone getting a ticket for an unregistered bike and after we had lived there a couple years my folks decided we could take our chances. People with multiple bikes would register them one at a time and swap out the lights and horns/bells.

The jig was up when they ran out of stickers and told everyone not to worry since no more were going to be bought that year.

This will probably happen with canoe/kayak stickers if it is only voluntary.

I'm proud to get an "F" from CNBC.
