Much complaint has been heard
recently in regard to the bicycle riding
on the cement sidewalks in this city.
Although Lancaster has wide streets
in excellent condition, boys, girls and
some men use the sidewalks more for
bicycle riding than they do the
streets. It is a common occurrence
for pedestrians to meekIy heed the
warning bell rung by some rider who
wants all the walk and step off in
order to avoid being struck. The city
ordinance implicitly forbidding the
use of the sidewalks by the bicycle
riders. should be needed, if for moth
ing else than the public safety.
