Any city police officer, or any other person authorized by the Common Council, shall have the right to impound any bicycle which is operated or parked on the streets, alleys, or sidewalks of the city without a current license attached thereto. A license shall be considered current during the two years for which it was issued, and for three months after the expiration of the two years. Any owner of an impounded bicycle may redeem the bicycle by proving ownership of the same, and by purchasing a current license for the bicycle as provided herein. Such proof of ownership shall be made to the city police either orally or written in such manner as to reasonably satisfy the Chief of Police that the applicant is the owner of the bicycle.
