MATERIALS ON BICYCLES
BREACH OF A BY-LAW The first case of a breach of the Invercjargill city by-law which makes it an offence for cyclists to carry materials on tdieir bicycles so as to interfere with the safe handling of the bicycle was brought before the Magistrate's Court at Inyercargill this week. Mr. E. Stopford, chief traffic inspector, informed the Court that the by-law was introduced to prevent the carrying of materials on the handles of bicycles. He knew of cases where lengths of piping, timber, and ladders were carried. Such a practice constituted a danger to traffic., "The publicity given to this case will probably check potential offenders," said the magistrate, Mr. R. C. Abernethy. "Otherwise I will have to check ihem." 7
