T have ridden a wheel for years and have lived in several cities and small towns where a heavy tine would be the penalty for riding on sidewalks even in the worst kind of weather, when the streets were almost impassable. saw an article not long ago in the Herald, evidently written by a sidewalk liend, in which he said ho hoped the police would bo loniont in enforcing the new bicvclc oidinancc. What is the use of making restrictions restric-tions if the police are to let the bicyclists bicy-clists have their own way? Coming homo from work last eveu-ing eveu-ing a burly six-footer, going at a rate if twenty miles an hour, ran into a it tie girl who cling a baby in a go 'art. The man fell, bur the little girl managed to save the baby. He got up ,woaring and scolding, frightening the ittlo girl almost into hysterics. Had ho said much more should have blacked lis eye or else had mine blacked. For mv part I pre for riding in tho lrcot rather than dodgiuc the women ind children, especially who swarm on he sidewalks here, making it a common davgrnnnd. Another thing.
