GERS OF good rank ride regularly, and even
! race a bIt, says Sport. MANY of the doctors
and their wives and daughters are cyclers.
! The Danish police are-many OF them-cy-
! clers, and the journalists OF the country ride
! and write about 1t. The percentage Of lady
! riders among the Danes is greater than in
| any other country. The police are all in
/ favor of cyclers, and one can ride without n
