Peddle on down to pick up bike license registration
By Janet Lliteras
Attention bicycle peddlers: now you can registei
your bicycle at campus police headquarters instead of
going to a fire station.
Earlier this year the City Council revised the ordinance
dealing with bicycle registration authorizing assigned re
presentatives to license bicycles.
A lifetime license can be purchased for $1 from fire
stations, bike dealers, and UNL campus police. Before
the revision, licenses could be purchased for 50 cents
every other year only at fire stations.
"It was difficult getting bicycles- registered," Asst.
Police Chief Dean Leitner said. -
'...
Maureen Knott, campus police officer with the Crime
Prevention Bureau, said students can register bicycles
at campus police headquarters between 8 a.m. and 5 p jn.
or officers can go directly to residence halls and register
bicycles if a group of students request them to come.
Bicycle registration is for the students' protection and
convenience, Knott said.
According to Lincoln police statistics, 1,243 bicycles
were stolen and 258 recovered by the end of July.
The estimated monetary loss in 1976 was
$98,192 Of that amount, $43,137 was recovered.
For the first seven months this year, $61,640 in bicycles
were stolen, and $21,799 recovered.
By registering each bicycle, thefts could be reduced
and ,more lost or stolen bicycles could be recovered,
Knott said.
"It (registration) is the only way to trace stolen
bicycles," she said.
a hiVvri that is lost or stolen and later found by
police is stored for about 30 days in a city garage. Bicycles
not claimed after that time are auctioned off to the
highest bidder.
Last year 305 bicycles were sold for $6,156.41. As of
July 31,251 bicycles were sold for $2,956.91. ,
"We had to sell them because we were unable to deter
mine who the owners were," Leitner said. Anyone whose
bicycle has been stolen can come to police headquarters
and look through the bikes, he said. If the person can
prove ownership, the bicycle is his for the $1 license fee.
Leitner encouraged every bicycle owner to license his
or her bicycle and to observe the bicycle safety rules.
Copies of the rules, and bike routes can be obtained from
the police station. .
