ClCLED ALL OVER EUROPE.
| If there is one woman i'll the world
who should be an oracle to Other women
on the subject of cycling that woman
is Mrs Elizabeth Robbins PcnneII-
In company with her artist husband,
Joseph Pennell, she has cycled Europe
from one end to the other She has
ridden tamdens, tricycles, slfcties, and
every variety of wheel Il woman could
mount, and she knows her rubber-shod.
steed as Il jockey knows his horse
Therefore what she has to say about the
sport ought to be of interest to other
women. What she did say to Il New
York Sun man is this:
Il have toured far and often, and I
know | do not eXaggerate when | say
that the traveller by train knows moth
] ing Of the delight Of journeying on the
, open road. He may see the larger
towns, but he misses the little villages
by the way, the old farm-houses and
older castles. He does not meet the
people in free, friendly fashion. My
| first long journey was from Florence.
! to Rome My husband and | rode e
tandam tricycle. a machine which had
never been seen in Italy. 1t made
trends, though; almost too many, some
times. And France. Never was there
more misunderstood country, simply
because people do not cycle through
it, And 50 in every country where
! have been whether in England on our
tandem, or in Austria and Hungary
on my safety, it is to my wheel that l:
owe my most interesting experiences
my most delightful memories. People
often ask me if my journeys do not
tire me. OF course they do ut times
| it would be absurd to pretend that
they do not. A head wind or bad road
rain or mud, will turn all ones pleas
ure into toll. But the wonderful thing
about cycling is that an hours good
time will make up for days discom-
forts. l have pushed my wheel up
long hill feeling that nothing would
persuade me ever to ride again, and
yet with the first coast down the other
side Of the mountain, the first spin along
the level have forgotten all about the
hard work. One great secret in tour
ing is to carry as little luggage as
possible If you are going on long
| journey it is well to- send a small trunk
from one large town to another Il
weeks cycling away. Take with you,
in a bag strapped upon your machine
complete change Of underclothfng
and an extra blouse or bodice. l also
recommend a light wooden nightgow1n
to guard against damp sheets. A.
Jacket and a short waterproof cape
are necessities.
