How to Mount License Plates on a Bicycle

Just about everyone across the U.S. has owned or ridden a bicycle at one point in time. Riding a bicycle can be an extremely enjoyable pastime and a great way to exercise. Many states do, however, require a bicycle owner to have a license plate mounted visibly on the rear of the bike frame. This can help bicycle owners and law enforcement identify a bicycle that is lost, abandoned or stolen. Mounting a bicycle license plate is a very simple process.
