Vienna's Severe Cycling Code.

Vienna has the severest cycling code of any city in Europe. No one may ride p. bicycle in the streets without a certificate of proficiency. Ladies must be able to mount and dismount from both sides of their wheels, show that they can turn corners, and ride in and out between a number of dummies. All cyclers are photographed by the police, and this photograph is fitted into a little book containing the rules for cycling in the city. For this book the.cyclist must then pay <1,25. Besides this a huge brass number has to be worn conspicuously placed on the handle-bar of the machine.
