A bicycle, in the opinion Of the
Massachusetts, supreme court, is more
properly q machine than a carriage"
and on this ground it has decided
that a certain Lawrania Richardson.
who had secured a verdict for $3.50
damages against the town of Danvers
because a depression in Danvers
highway wrecked her wheel and
seriously injured herself, cannot get
the consolatory reward. The court
admitted that for many purposes a
bicycle could be considered carriage.
As such, for instance, it's owner had
q right to the use Of the highway. and
could even enjoy the privilege of pay
Ing tolls, but 1t was another matter
to try to collect damages under an
old statute providing that towns must
keep their roads reasonably safe for
travellers, with their horses, teams,
and carriages" A bicycle, the court
explained-whether from experience
or not it failed to reveal-'is of but
little use in wet weather or on frozen
ground. Its value consists in the
pneumatic tire, but this is easily pune
tured, and no one who uses wheel
thinks Of taking ride of any distance
without having his kit of tools with
him. A hard rut, sharp stone, bit
Of coal or glass, or tack in the road
way may cause the tire to be pune
tured, and this may cause the rider
to fall and sustain an injury. 1t
would impose an intolerable burden
npon towns to hold them bound to
keep their roads in such state Of re-
pair and smoothness that a bicycle
could go over them with assured
safety"
