<p>I heard that all bikes are supposed to be registered with the Berkeley police… is this true? anyone have more info on this?</p>
<p>Yeah, several friends got their bike wheels stolen immediately.</p>
<p>I know a guy at my school who steals bikes and sells to Berkeley kids.</p>
<p>I would not recommend a bike. I’ve had 2 of my crappy bikes stolen that were locked. There are also remnants of other people’s bikes that have been stolen with only the locked part remaining. Also, you might get hit by a car. My roommate and I each got hit by a car on separate occasions. At least I got by a Mercedes Benz on not some crappy Honda.</p>
<p>^I’m sorry about your accident but getting hit by a car should not be one of the reasons you don’t get a bike. If you wear bright colors, and more importantly, use common sense, you shouldn’t get hit…</p>
