BICYCLE CRAZE - Then between 1890 and 1895 came the bicycle craze to Bay St. Louis - but nobody owned a bicycle. However, a Mortimer Walker solved that impasse by immediately opening a bicycle shop where wheels could be rented for 25 cents an hour. And, although it was considered terribly daring for a young lady to ride a bike, the craze continued -and it was only the automobile that stopped it. In fact, W. J. Watts of Chattanooga, the inventor of the Chainless bicycle mechanism, retired to Bay St. Louis early in this century and also opened a part time bicycle repair shop on the beach.
