Good to know there is a National Bike Registry. I hadn't heard of it before.

We registered our bikes with the city when we bought them. The bike shop carried the forms and turned them in to the city office for us. Cost was $7.50 per bike. Don't know if it really helps but it's worth a try - they're already in the system for the police dept. should the need arise.

Bike registration fees used to go into a fund to help maintain bike paths, but now they just go into a general fund. It's too bad that changed - it was a good incentive. Now a lot of people don't bother registering bikes. A license is supposed to be mandatory for any bike used within the city limits, but it's never checked.--
