Bicycle Week
Sir, — Surely the young lady whose photograph appeared in the newspaper as publicity promotion for Bicycle Week could have worn mere suitable attire than a long dress for riding, of all things, a racing-type bicycle through the city. Again in “The Press" on February 22 was a photograph showing a group of cyclists' with at least two of them wearing long trousers, not fastened closely around the ankles with proper clips. Riding a bicycle through city traffi'' is dangerous enough thotc davs, without adding to the hazards by
wearing unsuitable clothing. — Yours, etc.,
J. WILLIAMS February 22, 1977.
