why are UCI licenses so insanely expensive?

I honestly don't think $150 is all that expensive. Compared to what we spend on race fees, gear and bike crap... it's peanuts.
It's called what it is because you can either be USCF Primary or NORBA Primary. Both are UCI licenses.
Why does it cost what it does? Insurance fees and drug testing fees, I'd gather.

Well, if you can't afford $150 for a license, I have no idea how you can manage a $1500 bike and multiple races at an average of $25 each. Not to mention $100 shoes, $100 helmets and $150 team uniforms... oh god, the humanity!sherpa said:
You can always choose to race locally and not internationally, I suppose. THAT license is only, what $55?

Airfare?
Actually, the UCI license is only 60$.sherpa said:
60$ for first license (USCF or NORBA), 30$ for second license (USCF or NORBA). Once you have both USCF and NORBA licenses for 90$ you pay an additional 60$ for the UCI international license. Now if you buy all the licenses at once it is 150$. But really only 60$ or 90$ more than you would have spent to race locally anyway.
