They deal *??v a so.dom mentioned, but very tt*!rs danger to all -road traveller** I rWv , to email boy eyelets, ranging from nß»f' years to fourteen or fiiteen ago. They are a continual wor for most of them either know no W\ : of the road, or they aro determined recognise none, ana consequently \Wg are an unending danger to To mention a particu.ar instance. J«&----tcrday, on tho Main JN'orth road, ffj;; I motor car was overtaking tho usual WJi cyclist, and for a considerable 1 was sounding my "Echo" screaJDKf;- , and later my horn as well. - Bet I was almost upon him, the no notice, and when he did takeiww*._'j h.' shot right across to his wrong *>*Mf when there was no reason whatavet'W* doing co. own a dc was clear* Wj'. 7 it is tho old tale, in nine casea otit'fe ten the cyclists mentioned will do «*;- sarao thing. Over and has happened to mc, and I' te™~Jr!fj doubt but that any motorist orotwr , * road traveller in Christciiurch hold the abovo etatements.
