It shall be unlawful for any person who resides in the Township
to ride a pedalcycle upon any street in the Township or upon any path
in the Township that is set aside for the exclusive use of pedalcycles
unless that pedalcycle has been licensed as provided in this article
and unless a license plate for the current year is attached to the

Application for a pedalcycle license and license plate shall
be made to the Police Department on a form provided by the Township.
A license fee of $1 shall be paid to the Township before any license
is issued or renewed.

shall be valid until April 1 of the next succeeding even-numbered
year.
B.
Before issuing a license, the Police Department shall inspect or
cause to be inspected the pedalcycle for which the application is
made, and it shall refuse to license any pedalcycle which is determined
to be in unsafe mechanical condition or to lack required equipment
in good working order.
C.
Upon receipt of the license fee, which shall be for the use of the Township, and having ascertained by inspection that the pedalcycle is in safe mechanical condition and properly equipped, the Police Department shall issue the license, which shall be effective for the period provided in Subsection A of this section.
D.
The Police Department shall keep a record of the number of each license,
the name and address of the person to whom the license was issued,
and the number on the frame of the pedalcycle for which the license

fees collected and turned over by the Department to the Township Treasurer.

The Police Department, upon issuing a pedalcycle license, shall also
issue a license plate bearing the license number assigned to the pedalcycle,
the name of the Township, and the expiration date of the license.

The Police Department shall cause the license plate to be firmly
attached to the rear mudguard or the frame of the pedalcycle for which
it was issued, in a position so as to be plainly visible from the
rear.
C.
It shall be unlawful for any person to remove a license plate from
a pedalcycle at any time during the period for which the license was
issued, except upon a transfer of ownership or when the pedalcycle
is dismantled and no longer operated upon any street or pedalcycle
path in the Township.
Upon the expiration of any pedalcycle license, the license shall
be renewed by its holder upon following the same procedure and paying
the same fee as prescribed in this article in the case of the application
and issuance of the original license.
Upon the sale or other transfer of ownership or the dismantling
of a licensed pedalcycle, the holder of the license shall remove the
license plate and surrender it to the Police Department. At the same
time, if that license holder has acquired another pedalcycle not previously
licensed to him, that plate may be assigned by the Police Department
to the replacement pedalcycle without requirement for payment of an
additional fee by the license holder.
