But the AERC doesn't even "own" the rides!  Rides are put on by ride
managers, private individuals and clubs.  The AERC only sanctions them
and keeps the records (and has awards programs FOR MEMBERS ONLY).
Yet, the AERC forces the ride managers to impose this fee on
non-members.  Actually, I find your calling the AERC "allowing"
non-AERC-members to participate in a local club's ride a "privilege"
to be a bit insulting.

No, I don't care what other organizations do (If other organizations
jumped off a bridge ...).  I care what the AERC does.
