Has anyone noticed that part of cvc21200 cites cvc39000? <br><br>

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 (<b>commencing with Section 39000</b>), 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. <br><br>

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