The bicycle, according to a recent
decision Of the full bench of the Mas
sachusetts supreme court, is not a
carriage" within the meaning of that
term as used in the statutes. Cities
and towns are consequently not bound
by law to keep their roads in such a
state OF repair and smoothness that a
bicycle-rider can go over them In
safety. This decision was called forth
by an action brought against a certain
Massachusetts town, because OF per
sonal injuries incurred by the plain
tiff while riding her bicycle On one of
the roads. The court held that a BIZ
cycle is more properly machine than
carriage" as legally defined. and
that bicycle-riders. injured from acct.
dents arising from defects in the high
ways OF cities and towns, have not q
valid claim for damages. The deci-
sion VII not prevent them from CON
tinuing the agitation for good and safe
roads.
