McCarthy Issues Bike Warning

All Harvard and Radcliffe students must register their bicycles or motorcycles with the city police if they have not already done so, John E. McCarthy, safety director of the Cambridge police, warned yesterday.

Bicycles may be registered at the fire station near Memorial Hall from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday, or at the police station in Central Square from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays. Registrants are expected to obey all regulations concerning the operation of bicycles, and not to park on sidewalks.

Also, motorbikes found on sidewalks will be tagged and their operators summoned to court. Motorbike operators must have valid licenses stamped for operation of a motorcycle. Operating without this stamp constitutes driving without a license.
