However, I'd have to get all the proper reflectors to make sure bike is up to codes before I can take my bikes in.

LA Residents are welcome to get their sticker via Santa Monica. I think that a state issued non-removable registration sticker is a great idea -- as a voluntary thing. It might get somebody's bike back. The requirement thing is, as always, intrusive. Thanks, Green LA Girl One can do the by-mail Santa Monica procedure even if one is not a Santa Monica resident!!!!!

The requirement thing is, as always, intrusive.

I imagine a walking license is next knowing LA. ;-) In other news, I see the name of my site there but its linked to westsidebikeside - not a bad place to be linked I suppose. :-) That is incredibly silly – I rode for years in LA and SM and never had any issues – and never even heard of a bike license the entire time.

I'll have to look into that. Not that I've managed to ride my bike to work in ages...but it could happen again... so does the need for a bicycle license also hold true for unincorporated parts of LA like Chatsworth?
