Again, no one is forced to register. Centric Media, however, charges only $10 for ten years of registration. Very few people can t afford $1 per year to register a bike. Currently, most local government registration systems charge a minimum of $3.00 to register initially and then charge renewal fees. Additionally, AB 134 (Thomson), which is moving through the legislature this year, would allow registration fees to increase by almost one hundred percent. SB1260 offers a more reasonably priced, compatible, alternative registration system. As a cost-effective method to recover a stolen bicycle, nothing beats it.
