Accidents to bicycle lldeis can almost
Invariably be asTibed to Inattention
nnd careless handling of wheels. The
season Is now at hand when all classes
are riding nnd the usual casualties
are lecordcd among both club nnd un
attached rldeis Last season the care
less adjustment of wheels by riders re
sult! d In some unfortunate accidents.
Accidents of a mlnoi character, caused
by something going wrong with some
pail of the bicycle, are of frequent oc
currence and lldeis Inittentlve to the
small dttailH are liable to meet with
an awkwaid or dangerous spill which
will frequently do Iriopirable dimage
to a bicycle, says the New York Sun.
A party of wheelmen weie waiting for
tho ferry on Sunday nf lernoon, vv hen
a middle-aged rider made his way up
to tho feny house In n sad plight, Tho
entlie left side of his face was scraped
clean, hib c;e swollen to double Its
J noinial size, both his hands were bad-
y lacerated', and his clothes wiflro
torn and covered with dirt.
His condition was the result of a mis
hap. It seems that In speeding along to
tho ferry nt a rather fast pace from
the railroad Elation at Port Richmond
to cach the boat foi Mergen Point he
encountered a deep rut In the rondvvay,
nnl In putting quick piesstire on the
handlebais lu avoid the small excava
tion, the bars, which hnd worked loose,
swung completely around In one direc
tion, and tlu front wheel, without any
guiding hand, look a contrary course
brlnglrg the rider to the roadway un
expectedly and veiv forcibly.
Tho wheel did not suffer any dimage
outside of the breaking of n few rpokes.
Accidents of this character aio liable to
happen at any moment with eaieless
lldcr3. The working loose ot handle
bars or a saddle-rost Is duo to Inse
cure fastening. The working loose of
either of these two articles can result
In very bad Injiulcs. A loose attach
ment may caue a saddle to slip to one
side or the other w Ithout a moment's
warning, or. what lr decidedly more
dnngeious, to work back off the pin en
tirely. The fact that n bicycle Is new Is no
safeguard that uth accidents are un
likely. In putting new wheels togi til
er workmen aie lluble to be careless
TIm proper adjustment of brakes and
covsteiH lsv also Impoitant. An occa
sional examination and test of all the
pans of a bicycle will In a gieat many
Instances disclose a looseness or weak
ness In some one part and save riders
from what might be a oad dlsister.
