[SDCBC] While we are busy citing cvc21200 and cvc21202...

[Gene Carman]

Has anyone noticed that part of cvc21200 cites cvc39000?

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc21200.htm

21200.   (a) Every person riding a bicycle upon a 
highway has all the rights and is subject to all 
the provisions applicable to the driver of a 
vehicle by this division, including, but not 
limited to, provisions concerning driving under 
the influence of alcoholic beverages or drugs, 
and by Division 10 (commencing with Section 
20000), Section 27400, Division 16.7 (commencing 
with Section 39000), Division 17 (commencing with 
Section 40000.1), and Division 18 (commencing 
with Section 42000), except those provisions 
which by their very nature can have no application.

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.

The department shall charge and collect a fee, 
not to exceed the cost of procuring and 
distributing the license indicia and registration 
form, for each bicycle license indicia and 
registration form issued. All fees collected 
pursuant to this section shall be deposited in 
the Motor Vehicle Account in the State 
Transportation Fund. Those fees are hereby 
continuously appropriated from the account for 
use by the department to defray costs to procure 
and distribute the bicycle license indicia and registration forms.

So what is San Diego's policy on license and 
registration of bicycles...  assuming they have 
"adopted a bicycle licensing ordinance or 
resolution?"  How many of us are in compliance 
with the local law, should we for instance be pulled over.

If we are quick to cite cvc21200 and cvc21202, 
should we not also be in compliance with SDMC34.02?

§34.02 Bicycle License Required
Except as provided by Section 34.09 of this 
article, it is unlawful for any person to
operate a bicycle upon any public street, alley, 
sidewalk, highway, or other public
property within the jurisdiction of The City of 
San Diego without first obtaining a
license issued by said City. Bicycle retailers 
are authorized and directed to issue,
upon written application, a bicycle license, to 
any person residing within the City of
San Diego. Bicycle retailers issuing licenses 
will charge a fee pursuant to section
34.02. Fees collected in accordance with section 
34.02 shall be sent to the San Diego
Fire Department. Bicycle retailers will purchase 
bicycle licenses and stickers from the
San Diego Fire Department. The San Diego Fire 
Department will return $1 of the $2
license fees collected to bicycle retailers upon 
return of a completed registration
form. License applicants who reside outside the 
City of San Diego shall be referred to
their respective city or jurisdiction of 
residency. Any bicycle not subject to the
provisions of this article may be licensed upon the request of the owner.

How many of you are in compliance?
