Montgomery County Council introduces bill that would repeal mandatory bicycle registration

The Montgomery County Council will take the next step in repealing a law that mandates bicycle registration.

SILVER SPRING, Md. - The Montgomery County Council will take the next step in repealing a law that mandates bicycle registration.

The Council plans to introduce a bill that would essentially take away the authority to impound someone's unregistered bike for personal use.

The legislation would make registration voluntary.

The hearing follows an incident involving a Silver Spring resident who was cited by police last year for not having his bike registered.
