Judge Mitchell, of Tioga county,
says: GA bicyclist has no right upon a
sidewalk, and no borough can by or.
dinance give him that right, or make
his riding upon the sidewalks legal. A
bicycle is vehicle, and as such, has nc
more right to run on the sidewalks thar
has a cart or wagon drawn by horses
If bicyclist rides upon the sidewalk
he is there illegally, and if he should
: accidentally run over a child or any
person and kill him, he would be guilty
] of marslaughter, no matter if he were
riding with the greatest precautior
/ and care, for the reason that his being
upon the sidewalk was in itself illega
and would make an accident of this
\ kind serious in its results to the bi
] cyclist, whereas, if he were legal!
upon the highway, possibly no blame
/ could be attached to him by reason 0
