Massachusetts Court rules bicycle not a carriage for damages
The Massachusetts Supreme Court holds that a bicycle is more properly a machine than a carriage and cannot recover $850 damages from the town of Danvers after a wreck. It notes bicycles can be ridden on highways but the old statute requiring towns to keep roads reasonably safe for travelers does not extend to bicycles. The decision upholds road maintenance as the towns’ burden and denies the claimant the award.
