San Jose Set to End Mandatory Bicycle Licensing
It's likely that at tomorrow's city council meeting that the law
requiring all bicycles to be licensed will be repealed. |

I had lived there for 7 years, even buying two bikes there, and never heard of it until it was in the news today. If the government wasn't so inept at ordering computer systems, it could have been an easy moneymaker. Asking the whole city to bug emergency personnel for a $4 or $2 service is nuts. -- I will not see posts or email from Google because I must filter them as spam |

Asking the whole city to bug emergency personnel for a $4 or $2 service is nuts. I agree. I think I'll go down to the Cupertino City Hall and get bicycle license for all my bicycles, since they are still required here. "It is unlawful for any resident of the City to operate any bicycle on any street, road, highway or other property within the jurisdiction of the City, unless the bicycle is registered and licensed as provided in this chapter." |

Most of the city's I've lived in have a similar ordinance. Never once have I registered my bike. Never once has it been noticed by law enforcement. Even when they have responded to accidents involving autos and my bike. -- __ (oO) www.cosmoslair.com /||\ Cthulhu Saves!!! (In case he needs a midnight snack) |
