The latest news from MidnightRidazz.com:

Tomorrow night. 6 p.m. Bring your unlicensed bike, your sense of common courtesy, and $3 to the LAPD station downtown.

They want licensed bikes, they will get licensed bikes. A small group of polite and concerned citizens will be on hand to de-criminalize themselves.

If you're interested in going, make sure to mention your referral from Officer Alvarez, who let several Ridazz know that it was not okay to ride a bike in L.A.

Also, if you want a bike to register, I've got two that I can't ride that need to be registered. Call me up at 213 909 8986 to arrange to take one of these beauties from Highland Park to Downtown and back.

I've discovered that Santa Monica will issue a bicycle license to any California resident by mail for the same $3. No need to visit a police station.

Ya know, since I had to take my bike into the Central District...I'd love to see the reaction to your Bucket Bike...

So what exactly happens if I live in Pasadena? Or in NYC and just happen to be visiting?

david: if you owned the patent on the LAPD $3 give, you'd be golden.

calling it a bicycle license is a complete misnomer. it should be called "give the LAPD 3 dollars in fear of having your bike stolen, which we'll only feign an interest in getting back."

but somehow my suggestion is less marketable.

Great. I'm a criminal by default now. Screw you LAMC 26.01.
