BYLAWS AND REGULATIONS.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—lt was pleasing to read in last night's “Stanuard" that the City Council deemed it inadvisable to frame a by-law prohibiting the wheeling of bicycles on the iootpatlis. There are occasions when one wheels his cycle on the footpath to avoid the rain, and in many ways one is apt to take Ins cycle on to the footpath, not with the idea or intention to be a nuisance to pedestrians, because one realises quickly that if there is much traffic on the footpath, the cycle becomes just as great a nuisance to the owner us it does the other people and one makes for the road. No, sir, there are too many, by-laws and regulations already existing and the majority of the people do not know anything about them. There are laws to the right of us, by-laws to tho left of us, white and red lines all round us, with the Magistrate’s Court in the distance, and in most cases it’s only Brovidence that is keeping a lot of us outside the latter. In my opinion, sir, it would be for the good of tiro country if law making was given a rest, both in Parliament and outside it, and give some of us a chance to intelligently understand only a few of the existing laws.—l am, etc., PUSH BYKE.
