the bicycle was to be commercial asset Also.
these were the only streets where they could ride
without danger of plungng into a mud-hole and
thereby coming to untlmely end or at least sus-
tanning serious injuries. Hence loud protest was
raised. The council was appealed to but remained
obdurate. You'll have to keep off these Streets

Bicycling in Omaha might have come to close

and back came the answer:
PAY no attention to that law. Smash It. Dis.

We will pay your fines" Such enthusiasm was
encouraging and the Wheel club fearessly followed
Instructions They mounted their bikes and they
rode wherever they willed to ride The council
looked sghast at this disrespect of the law There
were whisperings in the council chamber and the
people were stunned at the daring OF the thing
Wholesale arrests were planned. II was believed
the council would make horrible example Of some
body. But no rider was molested. Not an arrest
followed and from that day the law was dead

the crunch didn't come. The Missouri mule got
over his fright at the houn' dog and the wrecked
rider and machine and consented to lapse into the
position from which II usually required warm
language and black-snake whip to make him
move. Passengers on the car helped Solomon un-
tangle himself. With the exception of slight

houn' dogs and mules and ii was a lesson he often
remembered and by which he frequently profited.
While dogs were dangerous. any other OBJ
struction in the road would have been. and doubly
dangerous when they persisted in frisking about in
confusion before the rider. there was one adyan-
tage in riding the high wheel. II was large dog
and good jumper who could fssten his teeth in
the trousers or leg Of the rider. The danger was
in being thrown, in which event the cyclist was
often more or less disabled and left at the mercy
OF the canine. Another danger that required
clear head to avert was the somersaulting Of the
machine when the small rear wheel kicked up over
q hump in the road easily negotiated by the big
wheel. Unless the rider was very wise in the ways
of the high wheel bike this was the signal for .

Streets Set Aside for Cyclists.
An anti-high wheel feeling brought about the
passage Of an ordinance by the council denying the
use Of certain streets to the bikists. One of the
first dead letter laws in the city this ordinance,
which the Wheel club ignored, after first con-
ferring with eminent authorities. The bicycle Is

with great danger 1t had many followers. Solo
mon was one OF the best amateurs in the game. At
the state fair in 1881 he won gold watch in
race against Dick Kimball and others. That same
season he was awarded silver medal in a contest
with Council Bluffs riders. In 1887 he took his
last trip on the high wheel" He pumped that old
Columbia from Denver to Colorado Springs,
through the Garden Of the Gods to Manitou and
visited the Grand canons and Pixies peak.
Many and severe were the tumbles the riders
Of the high wheels took. He was fortunate blk

unbattered head, unbrused shins or unscarred

1882. Street cars were operated by "hoss-powah."
The street railway company had planked the right
of-way to keep the mules out Of the mud. This
planked stretch Of roadway was the favorite race
track of the bicycle riders, for TO ride II meant
fewer falls and greater speed However, the street
company clearly did not respond 10 the enthusi-
asm of the Wheel club men and until the mules be-
came accustomed to the unusual sight Of man
perehed astride high wheel grimly enjoying bis
work, the company did not cease to object to the
use of the right-of-way by the bicyclists.
