Yes.
“Why?”
Because it’s the law…other than that, I can’t give you a good reason.
To obtain a bicycle license you must make it to a Fire Station on the weekends between 9am-Noon, and hope that there isn’t a fire somewhere or that somebody isn’t having a panic attack and the trucks roll out! I’ve been hearing that the Police are “cracking down” on bike licenses lately, and issuing tickets to those “offenders” that don’t have one. Who knew you needed to license a bike?
(A bicycle is defined as “any device upon which a person may ride which is propelled in whole or in part by human power through a system of belts, chains, or gears and which has either two or three wheels.”)
So that means you don’t need to get your roller skates, skateboard, Segway or unicycle licensed, but gosh darn it…you better license that bike!
What if I can’t make it to the Fire Station between 9am-Noon on the weekend? I just can’t. I have things to do on the weekends since I work all week long.
Bikestation to the rescue!
Bikestation has acquired 100 or so licenses and is able to issue them. They’ve picked Thursdays, and Thursdays ONLY. Why? Because that’s when they’ll be doing it.
Bring your bike, bring 2 bucks, and if you happen to have a proof of sale, that would be a huge help!
Bikestation is located in the downtown Transit Mall
221 E First St.

Save one for me? And then on Saturday morning, when I cannot go to the fire station, come to the cafe, where I will be, and have a mimosa. DO EET!!!
