Cycle Laws.
There exist in this city and in almost
every city in the United States separate
laws for bicycles which are different from
laws governing other vehicles. ,.....
The League of American Wheelmen in
tend to leisislate for uniformity of laws
in the different states, and have already
started the ball rolling in the state of New
York. The act just passed in that state
is entitled an act to regulate the use of BIZ
cycles and similar vehicles and to require
uniformity of ordinances affecting the
same.
The second section of the act provides
that no city, town or village in the state
of New York shall have the power to make
laws respecting the use of cycles except
provided in the act and 1t further pro-
vides that the main part of the act applies
to all vehicles and not exclusively to cycles,
ard regulations requiring lamps and alarm
bells, IL made at all. must include all We
hicleS without discrimination.
1t would be a good idea for the Commits
sioners of the District to require all We
hices to follow the same restrictions and
require that the police who pay so much
attention to cyclerS should pay the same
attention to regulation breaking teamSters
and other Users of the four-wheeled We
hicle.
