Nearly 200 Bicycles Stolen in Amarillo This Year
Amarillo police report nearly 200 bicycles stolen so far this year. Many are recovered after theft reports, but some owners do not regain their property.

A recent ordinance allows bicycle registration at city hall for 9 cents, with a numbered tag attached to the wheel or mud guard.
