KEEP 70 the RIGHT.
Failure 10 Do 80 On the Road ths Cause 81
Accidents.

Bicycling is so universal that one al
ways feels an interest which is a personal
one, at least to some immediate relative
or friend In 1t. Accidents will happenJ
sometimes. that may be chased as I'M
avoida Bile.
But in the majority Of cases, 1t can be
said with no cxaggeration that accidents
while wheeling are due simply to the
failure to keep religiously some rule or
other which everyone knows and which
everyone intends 10 follow 1t is an i'm
portant matter that one should keep to
the right of the road. OF course there
are some cases when this Is impossible.
But, these are too few to bear notice.
The omission of team to keep this
regulation, caused recent accident In
Bath resulting in severe injuries to a
worse. if not fatal.
The following in the Bath Daily Times
will be read with interest, describing
collision due to a carriage being on the
left side of the road:
Two draughtsmen at the Bath Iron
Works had an exciting collision on
Washington street, last evening, with
team while out bicycle riding They
were coming down the street on the west
side, and met a carriage with ladies in 1t,
going north on the same side of the
street. One was leading and ran into the
horse first. He was Immediately followed
by the other, who received the hardest
shock ''He went up into the air and
turned complete somersault," SO one
young man who saw the accident said.
when he struck he landed on his head
and shoulders. Both riders laughed at
the predicament they were III, but 1t was
only for an instant for the second rider
discovered he was badly injured.
1t was found that II was very bad
break of the collar bone and his head
quite badly injured. The bcyclists had
their lamps burning.
The place where the accident occurred
was at the foot of the hill, and would
not have happened If the people in the
team had been on the right side of the
road. Ii was lucky that the bicyclists es-
ped as well as they did without re-
ceivlng fatal injuries. The handle bars
of one of the bicycles was bent nearly
double
coasting is another cause for many ac-
cidents. a rider gets to feel so much at
home on a wheel that he really can do
much in the way of risky riding and have
no trouble. But. as it Is the old sailor
that always gets hurt, his day is very
liza bic 10 come and the first thing the ex-
pert knows ne Is high in the air. The
next. he Is on the ground and something
has broken his collar bone. an arm or a
leg or nose pushed in. Then he's sorry.
