Number Plates?

It's been done before. 1940's France I think.

When I grew up in Belgium, 35 years ago or so, my bike had to have a
small metal plate with an embossed number attached to the front axle.
It's colour and shape changed every year. It was not expensive, but was
a hassle. It had to be obtained from the local council offices. I don't
know how it would fit over QR. I presume there would need to be a
separate bolt on the fork for the plate. I don't know if these number
plates still exist.

Still doesn't make it a good idea. What benefit does anyone think they
will get out of it? Ken can propose any silly scheme, he won't have to
implement it as it will need to be implemented nationally. If it is
just intended as a revenue raiser, any fee that is not excessive to
cyclists (which would be a miniscule amount) will be taken up by
running the system.

Isn't bike registration still mandatory in some U.S. states, and
elsewhere in the world?

So what? Would bikes have to be fitted with lights to illuminate the
number plate after dark?

Didn't say there would be any benefit just thought the picture was
amusing. I did wonder about the musos looking behind them though.

I seem to remember it was tried in New York, but wouldn't work because
of riders coming over from Jersey...

Apparently the District of Columbia requires it[1], and insist on a
metal registration plate.

"1202.6 It shall be a violation of this chapter for any person to
operate a bicycle registered under the provisions of this chapter
without both a registration tag and a metal registration plate."

Sorry, didn't look at the picture.
