BICYCLE BORROWING.
Neither Borrow Nor Lend Is the Rule
for All.

All.
The ethics of bicycle borrowing are
beginning to agitate wheeling circles
now that what is termed the legitimate
riding season is at hand. Are cyclists
expected to allow other people to ride
their bicycles? This is the great ques-
tion. In discussing it, genial and well
known wheelman. who has suffered per-
haps as much as anyone from the bor-
rowing habit, as practiced by other
cyclists, said:
From the frequency with which re-
quests fer the loan of your wheel are
made by some people one might be
pardOned for thinking that the sole
mission in this world Of the owner of a
bicycle was to lend it 10 all his friends
and acQuaintances. Now, as a matter OF
fact, no one has the least excuse for
making such a request Of the owner of a
bicycle, and oWners should firmly and
emphatically refuse to comply with
them when made. If a man or a wom-
an cannot afford to pay for the amuse-
ment of cycling they ought TO forego it.
do not mean by this that if an unusual
ly trustful and good-natured friend Of
fers to lend bicycle one is morally
bound to refuse it, but do mean that
no one ought 10 he surprised or offended
il a request for the loan of wheel is re-
fused
a bicycle is not a cheap, easily re-
placed article, such as baseball bat or
pair Of skates. Against the borrowing
of such things there is no law, but your
wheel is Il different matter. No one, not
even the most expert rider, can guaran-
tee it against mishap. even if the acci-
dent be only the puncture of tire.
Too often, however, the pitfalls which
beset the most wary rider are far more
serious. The dangers of crowded
streets, where it seems the chronic bOr-
rover Of bicycles most doth Like to ride,
thCIt is no need to enlarge upon. They
are so common that the spectacle of
wheel being eXtricateu from beneath a
beer wagon, a street car or a cab, no
longer attracts n crowd. even on Broad
way. But even in less frequented roads
a cyci.st cannot always avoid danger.
ror insure immunity for he machine he
IS RIDING. Accidents, however, undeSir-
able as they are, are Of comparatively
small ~oment so long as the damaged
wheel is YOUR own, but if it is the prop
ertY of some one else the case assumes
a different complexion. Few people en-
Joy the process of confessing that the
borrowed machine has come to grief
while IN their hands, and suspect that
few even of the most good-natured Of
friends are not moved to regret their
unseliishness when the mangled re-
mains of their machine are brought
home.
Never lend your wheel. and sit down
most aggressively on all who make
request for loan of il. These
chronic bicycle borrowers should be
taught lessons. ~. !. Sun.
