Salt Lake City is poised to end a fee on a required license that you might never have known you needed — the one for your bicycle.
A proposed change would end the requirement that retailers selling bikes fill out licensing forms in triplicate and return them to the Police Department. Instead, retailers and residents would be able license bicycles online, free of charge.
Eliminating the $2 registration fee “encourages more people to license their bicycles and makes it much more likely their bikes can be returned if they are ever stolen,” Mayor Jackie Biskupski said in a news release about the proposed change.
