ATVs and other off road vehicles that meet safety standards can be titled and driven on the roads, but will not require titles or registration if they only used off road (current regulations).
skateboards are not classified yet, but if they are used on roadways such as is seen on downhill riding in the mountains etc, they will be subject to registration as well. Exemptions will be made for them to utilize sidewalks and crosswalks such as walking and running pedestrians use. Roller blades are not an external accessory and are classified as rolling footwear. They will be treated the same as pedestrians and will be limited to sidewalks and crosswalks. Blading on public roadways will be subject to jaywalking citations.

this is just making it fair. My hunting dollars pay an extremely major portion of parks and recs activities thanks to that fuck head hickenlooper who combined the parks and rec and the Division of Wildlife. Parks was always in the red, DOW was always in the black and now my hunting dollars subsidize the parks and recs that were underfunded and overstaffed. Now the bicyclists don't get a free ride any more on the back of my tax dollars and on my roads that my registration pays for. I don't give a shit if they own a car or not, you play, you pay for each vehicle.

i would prefer a user based system and a complete overhaul, but that won't be happening so this will make a little equality on the roads both from a biker and driver standpoint, as well as making bicyclists responsible for knowing the laws (one of which will require minimum speeds on roadways, essentially keeping them off the highways and only on roads where speeds will be more in line with motor vehicle speeds), keeping up with registration, and subjecting them to known laws that they can be ticketed for by LEO.

I would also be overhauling the registration system while I was at it. No more bullshit paying E-470 fees in your registration is a hot item on my list. Total fucking bullshit.

and the licensing system would be on my list. No more of this lame ass drivers training that is done by folks who don't know how to drive. It would go toward a professional driving course which would unfortunately have some substantial costs associated with it. My drivers license test and motorcycle endorsement were a total joke. I think all of us can attest to that. The end result would be much more professional drivers, resulting in less traffic accidents and lowered death and injury rates.
I would like to see a source of what you claim in bold. It was reported that both the Parks and Rec Dept and the DOW did not want to merge as they each thought the other would get their money. I always thought each were in the black every year.

I am not in favor of expanding government to register bicycles.

There are some of these properties in Colorado, saw a snip of it on the news the other night.
