I'm going to go down memory lane to Houston in the early 1970s. Our

neighborhood Houston Fire Station (#13 on 43rd St.) was where we went to

have our bicycles inspected and paid to have them registered. We got a

little reflective sticker that mounted on the frame, similar to the old

license plate registration stickers, which Houston Police could then use

to track down the owner for a lost or stolen bicycle. It was a

collaborative partnership between HFD, HPD and I think HISD because they

did the bicycle safety trainings at school and required the bicycles to

be registered for us to ride them to school.

Does anyone know if HFD still does that or if that program is still in

existence? Looking back it seemed like a pretty good program that made

everyone involved look good to the community and since we paid for the

registration the program was self funded.

Thanks, Barry
