But, and obviously, no Boris bike rider has ever done anything that you mention, because of the registration number.
That's actually a really interesting question. One would think that there would be examples of Boris bikes being used in crimes and the cardholder that rented them getting traced, but I can't find any on a quick Google. Probably because it's trivially easy either to steal a Boris bike or deface the registration. Similar to cloned plates on cars (or the current fashion simply not to have one on the front).
I wouldn't hugely oppose some kind of anti-RLJ device being fitted to bikes, but I can't imagine how you would make it simultaneously (i) not too expensive to install and (ii) hard to remove or disable.

To be fair, Cloak/Dagger never said that.
I'm in support of anything that means more responsible road usage and equally applied laws for all road users. I don't think it takes much to prove that reg plates will achieve neither of those things.
