There are, and always have been, lots of schemes in the USA for liciencing bikes. When I lived in Washington DC I counted 13 different schemes to cover the whole Metropolitan Area, and I probably missed one or two. The winning location was Takoma Park, Md, where everyone was subject to three schemes, state, county and city. This amounted to four schmes in total, Takoma Park straddling two counties. Later the state scheme was abolished, on the grounds of general uselessness. Reciprocity between the schemes seemed to vary, although nobody ever really knew what it was anywhere. > If so, what do you think thier reasons would be? Bike theft was the usual trigger: "We've got to do something. This is something, so we've got to do it". The main actual use of such schemes is to help police to keep poor black teenagers out of affluent white suburbs. Jeremy Parker |

(a) The department shall procure and distribute bicycle license indicia and registration forms to all counties and cities which have adopted a bicycle licensing ordinance or resolution. Those counties and cities shall issue the indicia and registration form to the owner of any new bicycle, and may, upon request of the owner, issue an indicia and registration form to the owner of any bicycle which complies with Section 39007. [...] 39002. (a) A city or county, which adopts a bicycle licensing ordinance or resolution, may provide in the ordinance or resolution that no resident shall operate any bicycle, as specified in the ordinance, on any street, road, highway, or other public property within the jurisdiction of the city or county, as the case may be, unless the bicycle is licensed in accordance with this division. -- Work and recreation are not often effected at the same time. One using a bicycle in business makes an exception to the rule. - Dr. Edgar H. Earl, Rochester. (~1892) |
