[Ken's bike lunacy]

It would be totally impractical to enforce, just how many bicycles
are there in the London area that would be affected? Anyone can buy a
bicycle from anywhere without need to register it. It would require
and Act of Parliament to make it legal and such a thing would never be
passed.

Ken is talking of a Private Bill, something London has every year. But
it could well fall foul of the Parliamentary procedures because of its
effect on people outside London.

It has no effect on people outside London. It does have an effect on
outsiders who enter London, temporarily or permanently - just the same
as British law applies in Britain, Scottish Law applies ... .

If Cambridge decides also to require registration and number plates, the
Council will have to determine whether London plates are to be valid in
Cambridge, and /vice versa/. And, AIUI, according to present
regulations, Councillors with any interest in or knowledge of the
situation will be unable to participate. Does that also apply to
Mayors, for example of London?
