Under Int. No. 497 those bicycling anywhere within the city limits without their registration number tag would face stiff civil and criminal penalties including:

UP TO 15 DAYS IMPRISONMENT and
$100 - $300 criminal fine and
$100 - $300 civil fine and
a misdemeanor charge and

UP TO 15 DAYS IMPRISONMENT and
$100 - $300 criminal fine and
$100 - $300 civil fine and
a misdemeanor charge and
confiscation of one's bicycle.

This has got to one of the most ridiculous laws I've ever seen submitted. 15 days in jail for riding a bicycle.

What a joke!
