A friend and diligent researcher passed these along from the Los Angeles Herald, 1895.
Don't, oh don't appear in public on a wheel wearing a silk hat.
Don't carry matches. It is cheaper to borrow and more socialable.
Don't climb fences. The bicycle is unfitted for the steeplechase.
Don't forget your tool bag, unless you want to lead your "bike" home.
Don't hold too tightly to your handle bars. The vibration is tiring.
