The editor indiignantly comments: Of late some young bicycle rid- ers have assumed exclusive rights to the sidewalks and! yell at citi- zens to get out of the way as well as in other ways make nuisances of themselves. One boy impudently told a lad-y with a baby carriage she would get a wheel torn: off if she did not get out of the way. Nervouswomen have been frigh- tened by 'boys ying past them at high speed from behind. If the young lads who ride bikes want the _ privilege of using the sidewalks continue-d they must needs con- cede that these walks are for ped- estrians rst of all and` for bi- cycle riders only when ped-estrians are not molested. A resolution of council instructing the constable to enforce the bylaw will put all glthe boys on the roads." But will LIIC it?
