kept, stored or used for transportation within the Town of Ridgely on either

an identification number on the metal frame of such bicycle.
The Ridgely Police Department shall maintain a registration list of
all bicycles marked, such registration list to contain the name and address

used within the town limits of Ridgely. The owner or user of any impounded
