BICYCLE BELLS AND LANTERNS
The Capital City Bicycle Club yesterday petit
toned the Commissioners to amend section g.
article 10 Of the police regulations, by insert
ing the word ''may' in place of the word
SHALL" go that it shall read:
And all bicycles and tricycles in motion after
shutdown may display a suitable light and also
have light gong or bell 80 attached thereto az
to be readily sounded to warn persons of theil
approach.
The club bases its request on the ground that
the lights and bells do not accomplish the pur.
pose for which they are intended, the safety OF
pedestrians. It Is commended that the bel
makes the bicycle rider careless, as he think.
that when he has sounded his bell he has com
piled with the law, and pedestrians must cleal
the track.
The lanterns required to be carried, it il
claimed, are not only expensive, but they are
also unnecessary and a source Of great incon
venience to riders.
