Port Hueneme Municipal Code Part B Bicycle Regulations

No person shall operate a bicycle propelled wholly or in part by muscular power upon any street of the City without first obtaining a license therefor.

The City Clerk or such other person as may be designated by the Council is hereby authorized and directed to issue, upon written application therefor, bicycle licenses which will entitle said bicycle to be operated upon all the streets, exclusive of the sidewalks thereof, in the City.

The City shall provide bicycle license indicia (license plates) together with registration cards, said licenses and registration cards having numbers stamped thereon in numerical order. Such licenses shall be purchased from the California State Department of Motor Vehicles and shall be suitable for attachment upon the frames of bicycles, and the City Clerk or such other person who may be designated by the Council shall attach one such license to the frame of each bicycle, and shall issue a corresponding registration card to the owner thereof upon the payment of the license fee herein provided for. Such license shall remain attached during the existence of such license. The City Clerk or other such person who may be designated by the Council shall also keep a record of the date of issue of each license, the number thereof, the name and address of the licensee, and the make, type and model of the licensed bicycle.

No person shall willfully or maliciously remove, destroy or alter the number of the frame of any bicycle licensed pursuant to this Chapter. No person shall remove, destroy or alter any license or registration card during the time in which such license or registration card is valid; provided, however, that nothing in this Chapter shall prohibit the City Clerk or other such person who may be designated by the Council, from stamping numbers on the frames of bicycles on which no serial number can be found, or on which said number is illegible or insufficient for identification purposes.

The license fees to be paid for each bicycle shall be paid in advance as follows:

(a) For each new bicycle license and registration certificate, the sum of one dollar ($1) per two (2) calendar years or any portion thereof; and

(b) For each replacement of a bicycle license or registration certificate, the sum of one dollar ($1); and

(c) For each bicycle license renewal, the sum of one dollar ($1) per two (2) calendar years.
