The purpose of the new law is to support and encourage bicycle ridingOnly a group of liberals could think that forcing people to register or face a fine encourages anything.
Ithaca is the City of Evil.

The Onion and Scrappleface sure have their work cut out for them.
That anyone would think that requiring registration of a bike would encourage people to ride more.....
Truly liberalism is a mental disease.

I grew up in Toledo, Ohio and we registered our bicycles in the 50’s. HOWEVER, it was voluntary for the purpose of recovery if stolen. I even had a license plate.

The purpose of the new law is to support and encourage bicycle riding, to assist in documenting bikes for planning purposes, to disseminate information to bike riders, and to facilitate the return of lost or stolen bikes."A long winded way of saying "The purpose of the new law is to tax bikes" -- after they've already been sales taxed, of course.

These people are beyond belief. Ithica’s like a Bermuda triangle of intelligence.

"I'm supportive of it just because of the basic premise of having bicycles returned," said Alderman J.R. Clairborne, D-2nd, who chairs the Common Council committee that oversaw the legislation. The police department already hosts a voluntary bicycle registration, Ithaca Police Chief Ed Vallely said. But they recover so many bikes, they have one entire garage dedicated to housing them, and they hold a yearly auction to get rid of the bikes that are never claimed.
Democrats never let facts or reality prevent them from imposing their stupidity upon the people.

Bicycle licenses are mandatory in practically every city, for the peoples own good of course.
Same as dog licenses, cat licenses, motorbikes, mopeds, boats, cars, atv's, trailers etc. etc. etc.
If it has wheels, rolls or moves and has a potential for people to have fun with or on, it needs to be licensed and regulated, for our own good of course.
The new fad these days, is to make people wear helmets if they can fall off something they are having fun on. soon there will need to be helmet licences, because they make recognition dificult, so they will need to have an identification number on them.
So lost helmets can be returned, of course....

BUMP!
Look for ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ to follow suit.
I LOVE my bike, but only ride it on the bike trails and on my own land with the dogs chasing behind.
I can’t believe bicyclists aren’t injured or killed around here on a daily basis between the way they DISOBEY all road rules, and ride down the middle of all of our country roads while training for The Ironman Race. *Rolleyes*
Nearly hit one on my way to work the other day. She was right in the middle of the road, on the other side of the crest of a hill. *SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH*
Dumb@ss.

Yup, Fines and bureaucracy ALWAYS encourage people.

Everything that’s old is new again. When I was a child in Colorado Springs, we had to take our bikes down to the fire station to get bicycle tags. Every now and again I’ll come across a vintage bicycle with tags issues by one city or another. It used to be fairly common. I think they were only $2 though.
