Complaints are made by people from
the country, who say that bicycle riders,
boys and girls, take delight in riding
close to teams, when they meet, and do
not give the road to teams, even when
the teams turn out. A team coming
to town Tuesday, met two girls on
wheels at the top of the hill. The BIZ
cycle riders did not turn out, but ran
close up to the team, which were fright
ened, and one horse began to kick. II
the team had been coming down grade
at the time, there might have been a
runaway, and someone hurt. Bicycle
riders have the privilege of the road, as
we'll as the teams, but simple courtesy
should teach them to obey the rules OF
the road.
