J 1 TO THE EDITOR. _"> ' 1 kir,— is to be hoped that the movement | % now on hand to provide better paths 1 f« | i cyclists may have some practical result- ; l There can bo no doubt that cyclists' haw asj A just rights to havo oaths made for them i! *jj pedestrians and vehicles have. It mV *»■ I said that bicycles are mostly used. for pi*;:;- a sure; but tliis is quite a fallacy, or vrcaM|N || be so if tho cyclists received morn considers-,, q tion at tho hands of the local bodies. I ?Kl| pose there is no place in the colonies >"'•> If hind the times in the matter of cycle pa* ; as Auckland is, and it seems to me .io»,:\fi preposterous that a person can lie fined J* |s| riding on the footpaths in the suburban ay.; o tricts, when it can bo shown that the roaw W are in an absolutely impossible state'* M cycle traffic. Auckland, with its bewbW i.r scenery and delightful climate, should » made as attractive as possible for poop l ' EJ from all parts of the world, and this can i dono in a largo measure by having m S cycle paths made to the many different | traetivo spots within easv distance of .%.-m city. One path that could bo made m . , mediately in the city itself.with very M B expense, is a path along the railway. Bvim from the railway crossing to the I*"% ' I Bridge, which would bring Parnell aw suburbs in cycle communication with .W a .sq m street. In Remuera, Epsom, ami °' ncr t § tricts, lam of opinion that one path 0» ™ , B side of tho roads should be open ?P|g§g traffic, with proper precautions and st ?s rff! laws as to rate of speed passingPPeAJ e A M trians, etc., and such regulations should :Kj R enforced under heavy penalties, lM?fefflß also wanted from Dovonport to Lake h puna, St. Holier" Bay, Otahuhu, tho broad outer path in the Albert .*' ( -.; m should be open for cyclists at «"S&l and under proper supervision. It scel i;i[l(1-il surd that miles of footpaths which are " m used by podestriaus, cannot, be: op m cyclists'under proper precautions; an I j}: ; S perty owners in suburban districts .wo ■ am sure, welcome such concessions, riy- m would enhance the value of their V P» J L | The bioyolo for business locomotion, i ■ sure, or for hoalthfulness, p-™jl(||jf.§ passed. The cycle has come to stay, g , ; , is time that the rights of cyclists, as ' g| sideration in the way of-P a fA-.jr.qsiffill should receive attention. Tho . blc L,i' u U like vehicular and. horse' traffic, &«Sp(gß innocuous to paths, while the « don M well that in any collision, they WW*« | to got by far the worst of the acciow • m conclusion, as an ardent bebever . fe bicycle -either; for business purposes Jfcff m health 'and 'pleasure, I believe tn V.Mm bicycle path is the path of . ofl |l up to good roads and .to increased J&XMM property fronting such roads ana JKi|f|f I am, etc., ''■ '.
