Whenever any bicycle is operated by any minor under the age of 18 years in violation of the provisions of this Traffic Code, such bicycle may be seized by any member of the Police Department and impounded. A bicycle so impounded shall be surrendered to the owner, and if he or she is a minor, no charge will be made, but a full explanation of the reason for the impounding shall be made to the owner, his or her parent or guardian. A complete record of each such impounding shall be kept in the office of the Chief of Police.
