letter from Senator Collins to Secretary
Treasurer Bull OF the l.. A. W. announces that
the Collins Uniform Bicycle Ordinance bill"
was among those signed by Gov. Roosevelt last
week. Wheelmen will find 1t greatly to their
interests now to make themselves familiar
with this bill. 1t repeats all city and town
ordinances relating to bicycle riding on
sidepaths or sidewalks. to carrying bells
and lamps and TO speed limits. This
means the making void OF great many
city and township regulations under which ar
rests have heretofore been made and fines i'm
posed. No ordinance passed by any village or
city is valid that prohibits cyclists from riding
on sidewalks that have not been marked of
from the road or improved by the local author
tiles or the abbuttlng property owners.
The absurdity OF declaring q foot-worn
path along country road to be
sidewalk has long been apparent. but
arrests have been made and fines imposed in
cases where riders have been caught using
such paths. Arrests for such sidewalk riding
are no longer legal and riders who know the
law need not submit to being penalized by
country Justices Another feature that means
an immediate change In many sections is that
the law provides that So shall be the maximum
