HE ” ACCIDENTALLY " RODE HIS BICYCLE.
A new type of accident has been added to the already lengthy list of ways in which people and vehicles can incur costly injury. The latest is the “accident” of getting on a bicycle which has no lamp. A young man who met with such an “accident" the other night, on Moorhouse Avenue, had the damages, amounting to 275, assessed in the Magistrate’s Court this morning. He said he was waiting for a friend, and “accidentally got on his bicycle" to put in time. He had not ridden more than ten yards when a constable accosted him. Witness had meant to go to Sydenham that night, but not on the bicycle. The Magistrate : (Mr H. A. Young) How were you going? "Walk,” replied witness.
