License Your Bike!

by Andy Laub on April 4th, 2008

After a year of procrastinating, I finally had a moment to head over to the Wausau Police Station and get a license for my latest steed. I really love my bike, and it means a lot to me, so doing that little bit to help with recovery in the unfortunate event of a theft is never too much to ask.

I walked in there, checkbook in hand, ready to pay whatever fee they were asking. As it turns out, it’s free! So I had to pay $0 for a little peace of mind. As I drove (I know, I know) home, I was thinking that the local bike shops should have these forms as well. They could even fill out the relevant information (model, serial) for you when you take your new bike home to save some trouble - it could be the extra little motivation people need to get their bikes licensed.

Or maybe they do this already - do they? And also, to clarify, I’m not sure whether this is also the case in the surrounding villages. Do you know?
