The Executive Committee Of the Board of
Trustees of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge
will hold q special meeting to-day to receive q
committee OF wheelmen and discuss some plans
for bicycle path over the bridge. The com.
mitteo will bo composed of representatives from
the League of American Wheelmcn tho Now
York City Consulate, the Associated Cycling
Clubs of New York, the Associated Cycling Clubs
Of Long Island, and the Good Roads Association
Of Brooklyn.
The desire Of the wheolmen for n path across
the bridge for their own exclusive use has
become very strong. Experience has shown
that the largo amount of traffic on tho roadways
places tho bicycle at q serious disadvantage. In
the case Of a runaway or blockade, for exam
pie, the wheel is found to have an extremely
poor chance. and several mishaps to cyclists
have occurred on the bridge since last April.
Various schemes for a bicycle track have been
suggested; ono Is to build 1t over the cable road
Whether that proposition is practical or not is q
question for tho engineers to decide. That q
separate pathway would insure greater safety
to the wheelmen there can be no doubt.
During tho summer months crowds OF wheel
mon and wheelwomen cross the bridge on their
way to Coney Island in preference to taking the
ferry. The number of bicycles to be seen cross
ing at this season OF the year represents only n
very small fraction of the number that might
have been counted six weeks two months
ago. And next season the wheels, in all proba-
bility, will be more numerous than ever before.
