TWO ON A BICYCLE
MARRIED WOMAN’S DEATH DANGEROUS PARCTICE Press Association WELLINGTON, Thursday. On March 24, Jean Lundon, a married woman aged 62, was knocked down by a bicycle on Island Bay Parade and died of her injuries. The machine was ridden by a boy, who had another lad on the handle-bar, and neither of them saw the unfortunate woman. At the inquest the coroner commented on this “double-banking,” which must lessen control of the bicycle and interfere with the rider’s view. Ho considered it a dangerous practice. In this counsel concurred, and suggested the coroner should draw attention to it in the proper quarters.
The verdict was that death was caused through the woman being knocked down by a bicycle.
