For statutory provisions on bicycle licensing, see Vehicle Code §3900 et seq.; for provisions on local regulation of practice, see Vehicle Code §21206.

Whereas, the legislature of the state has enacted into law certain sections of the California Vehicle Code, beginning with Section 39000, and being Division 16.7 of the Vehicle Code, and the statutes provide for the licensing of bicycles, the city council does adopt this chapter for the purpose of implementing the provisions of the Vehicle Code referred to in this section.

(Ord. 297 §1, 1975).

The licensing agency for the city shall be the police department. Any revenues or license fees collected shall be used for the payment of expenses incurred in the enforcement of this chapter or for reimbursement of retail sellers of bicycles or to improve bicycle safety programs, establish bicycle facilities, or in the procurement of supplies and license plates. The police department shall maintain records of each bicycle registered, which shall include but not be limited to the license number, the serial number of the bicycle, the make, the type, and model of bicycle, and the name and address of the licensee.

(Ord. 297 §4, 1975).

The city shall change a licensing fee for bicycles in the sum of twenty-five cents per year. The city shall furnish to the person licensing the bicycle a bicycle license plate of the type provided by the state to the city and shall likewise furnish to bicycle owners, upon payment of the applicable fee, such license plate tabs or devices used to show that the license fee has been paid for the current year.

(Ord. 297 §2, 1975).

All bicycles operated upon public rights-of-way in the city shall bear the license plate referred to in Section 10.48.030 of this chapter and as provided in Section 39002 of the Vehicle Code of the state.

(Ord. 297 §3, 1975).

Bicycle retailers shall supply to each purchaser of a bicycle the following information: Name of retailer, address of retailer, year and make of bicycle and serial number of bicycle. After December 31, 1974, no bicycle retailer shall sell any new bicycle in the city unless such bicycle has permanently stamped or cast on its frame a serial number unique to the particular bicycle of each manufacturer. Serial numbers shall be stamped or cast in the head of the frame, either side of the seat down post tube, or the bottom sprocket bracket.

(Ord. 297 §5, 1975).

The transferor of a bicycle licensed pursuant to this chapter shall, within ten days of the transfer, notify the licensing agency of the disposition of the bicycle, and the purchaser or transferee of such bicycle shall, within ten days of taking possession, apply for the transfer of license to his name.

(Ord. 297 §6, 1975).

Whenever the owner of a bicycle licensed pursuant to this chapter changes his address, he shall within ten days notify the police department of the old and new address.

(Ord. 297 §7, 1975).
