Bicycles in Tokyo may be required to display individual number plates like
cars, according to new government proposals.
The move would aim to lower the number of accidents and improve etiquette in
Tokyo, a city where cycling is widely popular among salarymen, students and
housewives alike.
The proposals were outlined by a panel of experts in traffic safety and
education as part of a study group formed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government,
according to reports in the Sankei Shimbun.
The move would involve each individual bicycle possessing its own number
plate, in the same way cars are registered, which would make it easier to
track down the owners of abandoned or stolen two-wheeled vehicles.
Shigeru Morichi, professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy
Studies, who headed the study group, proposed that such a move would also
help stem the current rise in the number of cycling accidents, the Sankei
reported.
The proposals, which will be discussed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government in
September, are the latest in a string of moves to improve cycling conditions
in Japan's capital.

cue cyclobabble about it being impossible to do since cycles cannot have
number plates attached due to the design of the bicycle.

The plates could be mounted to the rear and below the saddle. I'm not
talking about car-sized registration plates but something smaller.

it would make no difference if they were the size of a postage stamp, it is
categorically impossible to put number plates on bicycles, this has been
stated as fact many times by the psycholists here.

Is that it? One example from over a year ago referring to one specific
type of number?
Does that count as "stated as fact many times"?

That was in regard to numberplates in general and racing numbers in
particular.
Mason (in particular) has, on many occasions, stated that affixing a number
plate to a bicycle is impossible.

The one quote you provided actually shows him acknowledging numbers
are used on bikes and stating there was no room at the rear (he even
emphasised rear).
So, that is no example of people claiming "cycles cannot have number
plates attached due to the design of the bicycle," just one person
saying they don't fit at the rear.
Come on, where are these "stated as fact many times" examples.

What is this? Tokyo today, London tomorrow, whole of UK next week?
And it's only Tokyo not the whole of Japan.
What do they do about someone that cycles in the provinces? Arrest
them at the city limit for not having a number plate? Issue one on the
spot?

It makes no sense to me.
How can a registration plate be fitted to a bog standard road bike?

I think you're missing the point. It is perfectly possible to fit rear
numbers to some bikes, if they have been previously fitted with
"proper" mudguards. But it is a matter of observation that most bikes
do not have such mudguards, and many bikes cannot accept them. And
both situations are entirely legal under current law.
So being able to fit numbers to all bikes is a much bigger project
than fitting numbers to the minority of bikes that could easily accept
them

But it isn't going to happen in the UK, you stupid, dumb, petrol heads.
It just isn't going to happen. I am going to carry on crashing red
lights, riding on pavements, and going the wrong way up one way streets.
And, judging by Scotland, you low life are going to become more and more
persecuted and marginalised to the benefit of me.

No, there very often aren't. Oh, I'm with you on the cyclists who thrash
along pavements in built up areas risking life and limb of the poor sods
on two legs, and I am equally contemptuous of the lycra clad louts who
act as if traffic lights simply don't exist, let alone apply to them.
But there are plenty of instances where I KNOW that breaking the law
(carefully) is in the interests of myself AND motorists (if you accept
that running me and my bike over might chip their paintwork and their
no-claims bonus).
It also ****es me off that we get all this criticism of cycling on
pavements at the same time as shared pavements are becoming more common,
and the signposting of lots of them more confusing.

So you make an untrue statement. I challenge it. You provide one

Judith, You should read before you post.
The first example asks how a registration plate can be fitted to a
road bike (a minority subsection of bicycles), the second actually
accepts that many bikes could already accept number plates and talks
of fitting number plates to all others as "a project"
Neither of these fit Cheerless's claim that "it is categorically
impossible to put number plates on bicycles, this has been
stated as fact many times by the psycholists here"

if I won the lottery I would still be loath to buy myself a little tin
prison. It's often faster than public transport, it is infinitely more
fun than PT or driving, I have reduced my blood pressure, I am no longer
fat, and I get the fun of ****ing drivers off.
I mean, look at the moronic comment from one of the petrol heads telling
me to get a better paid job because I cycle. What fools!

Why do you take exception to 116 lines not being snipped, but 114 is OK?

Some people may think that you are a normal sensible person who has not lost a
job on the railways because he was ****ed in charge of a train; who did not
then learn from this mistake and was then banned from driving as he was caught
being ****ed again.

"Oh come on", said the ****ed ex train driver to the pathetic
transvestite internet troll, "say something interesting and let's see
your identity revealed through the courts."
On the other hand, you might well be a 'girlie' because you certainly

Lower. It is going to get its wings clipped with recent legal
developments though. All they can do is keep on rehashing the same old
crap about people. As soon as people like this creature let their
imaginations run riot they are going to find themselves getting a knock
on the door.

Yeah , right. Usenet is tame compared to what goes on on twitter and facebook
and the number of people who get pulled for trolling on them is tiny. You'd
have to spend a day explaining to plod what usenet is first and then
convince them why your battered ego requires them to put murder investigations
to one side and track someone down.

Battered ego??? Why should my ego be in the least bit battered by
anything that is said on here? If I gave a flying f*** about what people

Said the transvestite troll.
Had I been bothered about vicious little losers like you repeating my
lamentable drinking record then I would have kept it to myself in the
first place.
Well do I remember those days, driving along with one eye closed to stop
the double vision. And that, as you rightly point out, was in charge of
a train. I remember being so drunk in a car once that closing one eye
didn't stop the double vision. ;-)
