Ia well known to the old.tinio wheelmen OF this
city. He rides his full. nickeled ordinary wheel
throughout tho year. in tho summer
months affecting q white duck suit and
during tho fall and winter a corduroy uniform.
He takes great pride In his wheel, ana IL Is re-
lated that he declares the safety type OF wheel
to be merely q fad. To both friends and stran-
gers this rider maintains q discreet silence
while on the road. 1t Is stated that one OF his
most striking peculiarities next TO riding an
old.fashioned bicycle Is a custom to never Dis
mount from his bicycle while on an outing until
he returns to tine point from where he started.
The Good Roads Association Of Brooklyn Is
interested in the subject Of providing transpor-
tation for bicycle riders across the Brooklyn
Bridge. L. La Mama, representing the associa-
ton. has submitted plans for a cycle path that
meet with the approval OF a number OF wheel
men. The plans provide for the construction OF
q path twelve feet wide laid over one side Of the
roadway. 1t is proposed to extend the path TO
High street in Brooklyn and across
Park row to Mail street or else to the
City Hall Park in this city. The idea of extend
ing the path from High to Mail street is to do
away with elevators and secure a pathway that
will make a gradual incline to the bridge at the
New York and Brooklyn entrances. This plan
Is generally favored, but some trouble is likely
to arise in extending the path from the bridge
proper to the exits as planned. President Berri
Is said to favor the consideration OF plans Tor
the wheelmen's travel at once. instead Of wait.
ing until new officers are Installed.
The plan for n cycle path on the Brooklyn
Bridge was Endorsed at the meeting of the New
York Consulate. L. A. W., last night, and a COM
