Oklahoma appears to have provision for, but not state-wide licensing:


"Bicyclists should carry identification with them at all times.
Although bicyclists are not required to be licensed, they are subject
to arrest and detention."

Source: http://www.oklahomabicyclecoalition.com/manual/man04.html

and California. 

"License Requirement. VC 39002

a) A city or county may adopt a bicycle licensing ordinance or resolution providing that no resident shall operate any bicycle on
any street, road, highway, or other public property within the city
of county, unless such bicycle is licensed in accordance with this
division.

b) Any bicycle not licensed under this division may be additionally regulated or licensed pursuant to local ordinance or may be licensed
upon request of the owner.

c) It is illegal for any person to to tamper with, destroy, mutilate
or alter any license indicia (marking) or registration form or to
remove, alter, or mutilate the serial number, or the identifying
marks of a licensing agency's identifying symbol on any bicycle frame
licensed under the provision of this division."

Also suggests that there is state-wide provision for city / council licencing laws, but no state-wide requirement.

Do you have some sources that might disprove the above?

That will be a pint of Old Peculiar please.

Make mine a Young's Old Nick! 

Oh buggrit, why do the yanks insist on Federal, State, county *and* city
regulations.  Wtf happens when you cycle from one city to another across
a state boundary?

Quite right, although a quick look reveals a lot of cities do run a scheme.

I shall provide a pint of Old Nick first possible opportunity.
