Default Number plates for bicycles proposed in Tokyo

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-in-Tokyo.html

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.

Or would you care to cite a few examples?

Those type of numbers are often handed out at cycle events and are
usually taped or cable tied to handlebars as a temporary ID number for
the event. They are then removed and handed back to the HQ for use at
further events. I have never seen any affixed to the *rear* of a road
bike as there is no room, nor anywhere to attach it to.
