Judge Mitchell, of Tiogo county, Pennsylvania, recently handed down a decision which is of general in terest: “A bicyclist has no right upon a sidewalk, and no borough can by ordinance give hint that right, or make his riding upon the sidewalk legal. A bicycle is a vehicle, and as such has no more right to run on the sidewalk than has a cart or wagon drawn by horses. If a bicyclist rides upon the sidewalk he is there ille gally, and if he should accidently run over a child or person and kill him, he would be guilty of manslaughter, fio matter if he were riding with the greatest precaution and care, for the reason that nis being upon hte side walk was in itself illegal, and would make an accident of this kind serious in its results to the bicyclist.
