  • Cycling in Perth and Area – Past & Present”
    “Cycling in Perth and Area – Past & Present” by David Taylor Recently, the excellent work of the Cycling Committee of the Perth & District Chamber of Commerce has attracted local interest in bicycling in the area, with the development of new and interesting touring routes and increasingly improved road access (for more information on the routes, visit http://perthchamber.com/cycling-route-maps/ Bicycling as a popular pastime and a hobby is not new to the Perth area, although the equipment and the rider’s livery have certainly changed. In the 1880s bicycle clubs prospered here, as a permanent display at the Perth Museum relates. Amongst other things, touring in groups provided safety for the cyclists from attacks by stage coach drivers who resented having to share the roads. The clubs were usually turned out in full fashion – with uniforms, consisting of tight-fitting knee-length pants and distinctive jacket. In May 2011, Perth author John A. McKenty provided a presentation to the Perth Historical Society on the CCM company and its famous Canadian bicycle. In his recent book (“Canada Cycle & Motor: The CCM Story”) Mr. McKenty relates how in its first year of operation (1899) CCM produced 40,000 bicycles. In Perth, their bicycles were sold well into the 20th century by James & Reid Hardware, from their store at the corner of Gore Street and Herriott. Their store sold so many, in fact, that it became known as the “Big Bicycle House.” Bicycles became so plentiful in Perth that in 1892 the Town Council passed a bylaw prohibiting them from the town’s sidewalks.

The effect of COVID-19 infection on newborn babies still remains unclear. There is limited data regarding the effect of the virus in fetal life and among neonates after birth. Due to insufficient data, an ideal management method or treatment and follow-up guideline for disease in newborn babies cannot be established. In the recent three studies with the highest number of cases, it is reported that mothers who had COVID-19 infection in the last trimester, can breastfeed their babies if they comply with the appropriate hygiene and transmission prevention rules. It is also reported that pregnant women who got infected during pregnancy, have higher rates of maternal mortality, preterm birth frequency and cesarean delivery. Moreover it is asserted that vertical transmisson of the virus is possible and the babies who have community-acquired COVID-19 infection after birth often have symptoms of fever, hypoxemia, cough, tachypnea, less frequently feeding difficulty, retraction, ral, nasal conges- tion and exanthema.
