§ MR. BUTTasked the First Commissioner of Works, By what authority the 979 public is prohibited from using the broad road round the inside of the Regent's Park for bicycles; whether there is any, and if any, what reason for the prohibition; and, whether it would not be practicable to re-open that road to the large number of young men of the working class who were formerly in the habit of using it for bicycle exercise?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVRE, in reply, said, that the bicycles were prohibited tinder the Regulations of 1872, by virtue of the Parks Regulations Act. After consideration, he was inclined to think that, with a view to the protection of the public, it was not desirable that bicycles should be used in the parks.
