BICYCLES on THE PARK WAY.
SOME FRIENDLY BUT CANDID COMMENTS
on COMMISSIONER WOODRUFFs
RECENT ORDER.

Soaking OF the order recently issued by Park
Commissioner Woodruff forbidding riders Of the BIZ

way prominent citizen OF Brooklyn eaid yester-
day:
II seems TO me that Mr.. Woodruff went about
Gsnatter in exactly the wrong way In the hTs'
pace he had no business 10 issue such an order be-
axe the return cycle path is finished for under
resent conditions 1t is possible that the old path
-ght be 30 crowded that some riders would wish
10 go on the roadway at certain times. The path Is
such an Improvement the road however. that 1t
not possible that many riders should prefer II at
any time For instance. after the rain OF yesterday
there would be riding on bicycles possible to-day
out OF the Park If there were cycle path. The
driveway IS a OF mud from one end TO the
other while the path has been In excellent condi-
ton all day
AS 10 the right OF the Commissioner to issue the
order in question. am not prepared to express
positive opinion, but am inclined to think he has
Is much right 10 keep bicycles off the drive he
has to keep carriages and horsemen off the part
specially prepared for wheelmen. although it is OBJ
rcus that horses would ruin the cycle path while
BICYCLES would not only do no harm to the road but
would improve H. II anything.
But when Mr.. Woodruff made up mis- mind. in
The Interest Of safe driving and safe wheeling. 10
keep horses and carriages apart he ought to have
cone one OF two things. l think the best thing
would have been to ask the leaders Of the cycling
Cubs OF the city 10 meet him. and then have
Rained his plans them and asked for their views
IN this way he would have Gsarmed criticism. and
\ nave no doubt that they would have approved
rs Intended action. 1t would have been only cour-
saus 10 take this course. and there would then have
yen no criticism OF him when the order was made
Golc The wheemen all know that Commissioner
soodrun is their friend and that he is uoing all in
power in their interests.
