FROM John J. McSweeney, Chairman SUBJECT' Bicentennial Bike Tours
Traffic Safety Committee
At its meeting of August 6, 1974, the Traffic Safety Committee
discussed Mr. Tarlin's letter requesting advice relative to Historic .
Bicycle Tours. The Committee looked favorably toward the proposal and
felt the following points would be useful in the further planning of
,
the tours. � •'
Firstly, as the Board is aware, certain rules and regulations
governing the operation of bicycles on Town ways have of late become v:
law. This being the case, and since bicycle riders tend to violate
these rules, due to ignorance of them, the Committee felt that the ria
law should be outlined to the participants of the tours by the tour
guides or leaders prior to the start of each tour. Secondly, the
Committee has been assured by the Police Department that should any
members of these tours be observed violating the rules and
regulations of safe bicycle operation, they will be cited without
hesitation.
Those in attendance at this meeting were Peter M. Chalpin,
Chief Corr, and Ken Briggs.
