Every person required shall, on or before June 30 of each and every year, apply for and procure a license and registration tag from the Safety Bureau of the Evesham Township Police Department, under the supervision of the Township Manager. Said registration tag shall be fastened to the frame of the bicycle in a place to be determined by the Chief of Police. Removal of said tag shall be grounds for revocation of the license.

Upon compliance by the applicant with the requirements set forth herein, the Safety Bureau shall issue to the applicant the license and registration tag.
The license and registration tag shall only be issued by the Safety Bureau upon a satisfactory showing by the applicant to the licensing authority that the bicycle is in a safe mechanical condition.
