>
> Is bicycle registration required in the District of Columbia?
>
> As of June 1, 2008, bicycle registration is no longer required in the
> District of Columbia. However, the District Department of  
> Transportation
> (DDOT) and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) strongly encourage
> residents to register their bicycles with the National Bicycle  
> Registry
> (NBR).
>
> What is the National Bicycle Registry (NBR)?
>
> NBR is a service that allows you to register your bicycle by serial
> number in a national database. If your bike is ever stolen, it can be
> identified and you can prove ownership. Law enforcement anywhere can
> access this database. NBR also guarantees your registration. If your
> bike is stolen and not recovered by police within 6 months, NBR will
> register your next bike for free and the stolen bike information will
> remain in the database until the bike is recovered no matter how  
> long it
> takes.
>
> Where can I register my bicycle?
>
> NBR registration kits can be purchased at area bicycle shops. You can
> also register your bike online at www.nationalbikeregistry.com or by
> calling 1-800-848-BIKE. Please note: MPD no longer registers  
> bicycles at
> any District police station.
>
> Is there a cost to register my bicycle with NBR?
>
> Three different registration options are available through NBR:
>
> $10 (single bicycle) - 10 years of coverage for an individual bike
>
> $25 (single bicycle) - 30 year registration, transferable when you
> replace your bike
>
> $25 (family registration) - 10 year registration for up to 5 bicycles
> located at a single address
>
> What should I do if my bike is stolen?
>
> As always, you should immediately file a police report with MPD. Alert
> them to the fact that your bicycle is registered in the NBR database  
> and
> provide them with the manufacture's serial number. MPD will then be  
> able
> to search for and attempt to recover the stolen bicycle.
>
> Can I register my bicycle with NBR after it has been stolen?
>
> Yes, you can register your bicycle with NBR after it has been stolen.
> For a $1 fee, your stolen bicycle with remain in the NBR database  
> for 6
> months, allowing law enforcement personnel access to the information  
> in
> case it is recovered.
>
> Can I be stopped by MPD and asked to present my bicycle registration?
>
> As of June 1, 2008, MPD officers are no longer authorized to stop
> bicyclists for the sole reason of checking for bicycle registration.
>
> Where can I find additional information about NBR?
>
> Additional information about NBR can be found on their website at
> www.nationalbikeregistry.com or by calling 1-800-848-BIKE. You can  
> also
> contact DDOT's Bicycle Program office at 671-0681.
