A timely suggestion to the cyclists
OF our streets, particularly the boys
and girls, whose judgment and dis
erection are not mature, is that they
should learn the rules of the road
and govern themselves accordingly.
They subject themselves to great
danger by careless or thoughtless
riding in crowds on all sides of the
road Without due care, some of
them will be unavoidably run down
and perhaps killed, in meeting and
passing teams. Many people, who
would be greatly panied to injure d
bicycle rider, are talking of this ex-
listing danger.
