CYCLISTS WANT GOOD ROADS.
A Suggestion for Low Priced Cycle Paths
in Bangor.

The recent arrest of bicyclists for riding
upon the sidewalks in Bangor, says the
News, has created a great deal of talk
among the wheelmen in the city. 1t is
said that one of the men simply rode
upon the sidewalk long enough to get by
a portion of the street that was impas-
sable on account of mud. This man is
well known as being opposed to sidewalk
riding, but he thinks that the city should
keep the streets in condition for use by
the wheelmen.
The greater number of the wheelmen
do not favor the idea of the city going
out into the country to fix up road for
their use, for, they ask: ''What is the
good of bicycle path if you've got to
dy streets to get to it, What is needed is
to put the streets of the city all in CON
dition, but if any one street is to be taken
let it be one that is handy, for instance,
State street or Main street between the
Bangor House and the car barn. Either
one would be handy for most of the
wheelmen.
There is another thing which bothers
all riders, more especially the women
riders-that is the sprinkling of the
streets. The men who drive the sprink-
lers appear to use no judgment in doing
their work, but keep the streets in
muddy condition all the time. 1t has
been suggested that this evil could be
remedied in Bangor, as it is in other
cities, by taking a strip about six or
eight feet wide upon each side of the
street and roll it hard with the steam
roller, and then have it kept dry all the
time. This would give the riders a good
cycle path on every street at small ex-
pense.
The Rockland Wheel Club is arranging
a relay race between that city and Ban
gor. AS yet the schedule of time to be
made by the various relays has not been
announced, but it is expected that it will
be in few days. George N. Rogers, the
fast rider in the employ of the Bangor
Bicycle Company, has entered as one of
the riders upon the Bangor end. 1t is
expected that he will have the relay from
Hampden to the finish in Bangor, a dis
lance of about six miles.
The concession recently made by the
passenger committee of the Trunk Line
Association in deciding to accept bicycles
as personal baggage between States, is
hailed with delight by wheelmen.
The same committee in 1895 imposed a
tax upon all bicycles carried for passen-
gers, taking the ground that railroads
could not be expected to carry wheels as
they would trunks. This latter act
caused the wheelmen OF New York to
make more strenuous efforts to secure
what they deemed their rights in the
premises, and the result was the enact
ment of the presen5 Armstrong baggage
bill, despite the fact that representatives
Of the leading railroads opposed the bill
at every stage.
As soon as the law was enacted the cry
was raised that it was unconstitutional.
and several railroads refused to respect it,
but they were forced to do so by the de-
termined efforts Of the wheelmen, and the
recent action of the Trunk Association
is taken as practical admission that the
bill was a constitutional one.
Now almost all of the leading railroads
in the country except in New England,
carry bicycles free of charge
