The Law of the Road

The supreme court decided in a recent case that bicycles are vehicles and as such are entitled to one-half the public highway. Any person refusing to give onehalf of the public highway to a bicycle is guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction may be fined in any sum not exceeding $25. When any person comes up behind a vehicle and desires to pass, the person ahead must turn to the left and the one passing must turn to the right. Any person refusing to give half the way to one desiring to pass, upon conviction, is liable to a fine of not more than #25. —Brazil Democrat.
