One biker saw an upside, saying lost or stolen bikes could be identified. "Right now, [recovered] bicycles just get auctioned" by police, said audio engineer Chvad Bernhard, 37.
This guy may not know it; but even in places with bicycle registration, recovered bicycles still just get auctioned off. The police consider it too much of a bother to get the records and inform owners of stolen bicycles.
