The General Assemby of the
Presbyterian Church in 1896 condemned bicycling on Sunday for enticing parishioners
away from church and violating the Fourth Commandment:
The Sabbath, the Lord’s Day of rest for the body, and of
worship for the soul, is especially threatened by many unscriptural innovations…Sunday bicycle pleasure riding…
Can you remember the last time you heard someone describe the bicycle as an
innovation that it puts the Sabbath in jeopardy??
I cycle -- but going to give it up on Sunday’s …actually never have time to cycle
on Sunday due to church going!!
What about you?
