California Law makes it mandatory for all bikes to be licensed.So why doesn't Anaheim require licensing of bicycles?

Because what they are saying is not true?
http://www.sacbike.org/sacbiking/CVCLaws.htm (these are the same as from the
DMV site but condensed)
39001. (a) The department shall procure and distribute bicycle license
indicia and registration forms to all counties and cities which have adopted
a bicycle licensing ordinance or resolution. Those counties and cities shall
issue the indicia and registration form to the owner of any new bicycle, and
may, upon request of the owner, issue an indicia and registration form to
the owner of any bicycle which complies with Section 39007.
39002. (a) A city or county, which adopts a bicycle licensing ordinance or
resolution, may provide in the ordinance or resolution that no resident
shall operate any bicycle, as specified in the ordinance, on any street,
road, highway, or other public property within the jurisdiction of the city
or county, as the case may be, unless the bicycle is licensed in accordance
with this division.
(b) Any bicycle not licensed under this division may be additionally
regulated or licensed pursuant to local ordinance or may be licensed upon
request of the owner.
39007. After December 31, 1976, no bicycle retailer shall sell any new
bicycle in this state unless such bicycle has legibly and permanently
stamped or cast on its frame a serial number, no less than one-eighth inch
in size, and unique to the particular bicycle of each manufacturer. The
serial number only shall be stamped or cast in the head of the frame, either
side of the seat tube, the toeplate, or the bottom sprocket (crank) housing.

Actually, it's a courtesy to those of us who don't want to click off site. I usually just skip posts that are links. I felt generous today and kept reading a bit.
