Default Stop NY's Anti-Bicycling Bill (Adding A Metal License To Your Bike)

Actually, proof of registration would more likely be in
the form of a sticker with which to embellish your cleanly
gorgeous titanium frame's downtube.


=v= If they're "tags" they'll probably be made of metal. Added
weight to your bike?!? (I doubt they'll be made of titanium.)

=v= In Boston in 1998 there was some tabloid-fueled hysteria
after a bike messenger collided with a well-heeled, influential
pedestrian. They put a draconian licensing law into effect for
messengers, and the tags were big and made of sharp metal. If
you put them under your seat, you'd cut your legs. Bogus.

=v= What's more, the Boston police used this law to stop random
bikers on the pretense that they might be messengers.
