The driver of a carriage or the rider of a bicycle along the streets of a city is bound to anticipate that passengers on foot may be at the crossings and to take reasonable care not to injure them. If he fails to look out for them, or when he sees, does not, so far as is in his power, avoid them, he is chargeable with negligence

There are probably 2,500,000 bicycle riders in the United States, and it is estimated that a million wheels will be sold during the present year. Take into account 250 bicycle factories, 24 tire makers, and 600 concerns dealing in bicycle sundries, all representing a combined investment of $75,000,000, and the bicycle question seems to gain proportions. Add the number and value of repair-shops, race-tracks, and club-houses, and the aggregate jumps again. Consider the fact that this country contains about 30,000 retail bicycle-dealers and about 60,000 persons employed in the ‘sundry’ factories, and that these numbers are every day growing apace
