A Question or CyoiinG Etiquette Raised By the
Presence or women on Club Runs-Prcsi-
dent Dyuond or the California Association
says the Enterprise Is FrosperinE-Notes.
Tho action Of some Of the local bicycle clubs
In admitting wheelwomen to membership and
allowing them TO participate on the regular
club runs is a radical departure from the old
customs. This innovation is likely to bring up
In some Of tho clubs q question OF cycling ell
quettc. Advocates of golf have prescribed
rules on tho subject of etiquette with which all
players are expected to be familiar. Tho advent
of the wheelwoman on club runs may also
demand an Interpretation OF what is cycling
etiquette. One of the leading clubs in
Hudson county recently started out on
a run TO a suburban point on "A holiday. and In
tho company was a woman member OF tho club.
She maintained as fast u pace as the entire
crowd for some time. until, in riding over n sec
ton of slippery pavement, she fell, and. striking
her knee. sustained a painful injury. Great So
licitude was manifested by the wheelmen at
tending tho run, and they accompanied the in.
jured rider to a drug store. where it was recon-
mended that the injured rider should return
to her home. At this stage the road Off.
GERS expressed great coincidence. but found
that they must continue on the run to its ter
minus, inasmuch as they were in official charge.
By a singular coincidence all the club members
found that it was imperative that they must
also continue on the ride, a number having
made appointments TO meet friends. The up
shot of tho matter was that the injured
rider had to return homo without any es-
cort. This neglect was deemed ungallant
and the consequence is that the members Of the
club are divided upon the question as to whether
1t was proper to allow a club member. forced TO
abandon a run through an accident, to DO sent
homo In such a manner. The subject has excited
considerable comment and may provoke discord
In the club. The circumstance, which Is an UNI
common one, seems TO require tho aid of some of
tho society cycling devotees TO prepare a set Of
rules on cycling etiquette.
In spite OF the strict enforcement of the rules
of the l. A. W.. National Racing Board this sea-
son, riders continue to show a disregard for the
racing regulations, and the list of suspensions
and transfers to the professional class continues
to Increase accordingly.
