I think most of the cities here in California wouldn't be as ridiculous as New York in their proposal. Newark has a voluntary registration for bikes. If they made it mandatory, I'd have to pay $5 per bike, I think, and put a sticker on my bike. I believe the New York proposal would require a sizable license plate to be installed front and rear on the bike.
