The fact that the rubber tire manu-
facturers are Considering a still further
| reduction Oh the time guarantee Oh tires
is matter Of vital interest to every
wheelman. The Rubber Tire Manufae.
tUrers' Association will convene in New
York on W ednesday for the express pur-
pose OF discussing the adyisa bliuy Of
doing away with the guarantee alto
ge:iier- 1t is hardly thought that the
guarantee will be entirely removed at one
clip, as that would arouse too much in
digna uon among wheelmen. But there
will doubtless be a reduction of Three
months, which viii bring the guarantee
down to practically no guarantee at all.
1t iC understood that the National Cycle
Board Of Trade lis favorable to the redue-
ton of the time to three months, and as
these associations are friendly, there is
little doubt that the change VIII be adopted
When the guarantee of one year ON tires
was redHced to six months there was a
widespread howl among the riders, and
they denounced the change unanimously
That a still further cutting down of the
time is imminent, will be disag BILE

GENERAL WHEELING TOPICS

A bicycle don't TO which prominent
cycling Journal devotes considerable space
this week is that which advises pedestri
ans not TO dodge an approaching bicyclist
when crossing a street. There is much
Timely wisdom in this and The observations
and adS ice included III the a bove -inenLioned
article Will bear repetition in this column.
Every bicycle rider VIII testify that moth
ing is 50 disconcertinS as To have petles-
trjan try to dodge. Pedestrians see the
wheelman approaching and they seem
straiehtway seized with spirit of in
decision. They start back, then forward,
stop, perhaps, as the wheel nears them
and with last effort succeed in confusing
the taltcring rider TO such an extent that
d collision or a spill is almost inevitable
Now there are two ways to prevent this
sort Of thing, and both of them rest with
the pedestrian. One is To keep right on
across the street without faltering or pay.
Ing any attention TO the bicyclist. There
is.theD no confusion, and the rider would
infinitely prefer this 10 the lodging tactics
Another plan is for the pedestrian to stand
perfectly still in his or her tracks, even
though the rider seems bearing straight
down On them a bicyclist can avoid a
pedestrian much more quickly than the pc
dcstrian can dodge the wheel. All the
bicyclist wants is 10 have one of those Two
plans adopted, for lie doesn't want COLI
sion any more than the pedestrian.
New York has at last secured the road
ordinances for which the L. A. w and
wheelmen OF the metropolis generally
have been fighting. In view OF the inn
pending amendments to the District regu-
lations, IL viii be of some interest to
remark upon the points upon which the
board of aldermen and the wheelmen
differed, ar they seem to closely resemble
the local differences.
The most important concession sought by
the wheelnen, and refused by the board
seems to be that in TeIa tion 10 the car
rying OF lights after dark by al vehicles.
The board concluded that it would be
great hardship on the owners OF certain
vehicles TO compel them TO carry these
lights, so that amendment was stricken
out.
Another important point which as yet
has not become a local issue is that which
relates 70 the trundiing or wheels along
the sidewalks. There is no law which pre-
vents wheelnlen from trundling their wheels
on the sidewalks of that city although an
impression prevailed that there was such
a law, as the wheelmen petitioned TO have
the law changed TO allow them to be car
rled along The sidewalks in single file
The absence OF the law was brought out,
but the board directed that wheels allowed
on the sidewalks should in all cases pro
ceed ia single file. An anendiue TO tie
local laws prohibiting wheels TO be trun-
died along the side walks OF the most crowd
ed streets would undoubtedly be popular
