A we-known wheelman who has just returned
from the West has interesting story to tell re-
garding Denver. Il stayed in Denver for
time" said he. and was astonished at the inter
est In wheeling there This is due largely to the
srlenddy paved streets. which make bicycle-rid-
ing extremely enjoyable. People In New-York
seem to think that there Is a wonderful interest In
bicycling. but just wait until the local and State
officials wake up and insist upon good roads. and
then watch the dividends Of the elevated and sur
face roads tumble Until recently the surface
roads in Denver were splendid paying invest
ments. and their yearly dividends were a 10y to
the stockholders. Now there has been slump.
and the dividends have disappeared. Everybody
there. apparenty-man woman and child-is rid
ing bicycle. both for business and pleasure.
Denver has what might be called natural mac
adam roads. which furnish a splendid surface for
wheels

test In cycling is merely fad. and that It will
die out. Just did the roller-skating craze a few

diseases laugh at the prediction. for one IL an
outdoor sport. with health-glviDg benefits that
are recognized by the medical fraternity OF the
world while the other indoor sport.
which brought together an undesirable social
mixture Others seem to think that the women
who are so much Interested In wheeling Just now
will find a fad shortly. and then will de-
sert the cycle. The writer spoke to a wellknown
physician about this the other day. and this is
what the doctor said: "Cycling In moderation Is
certainly beneficial TO most women. and as /
think that the woman has come to stay.
do not look to her losing interest In her
wheel. ! tell you that the pastime or exercise
which makes woman feel better and look bet |
ter and which adds lustfe to her eye and a
color TO her cheek is not going to lose interest for
