Many can ride the snorter distances in fast
time, While others who fail at short dis
tances are successful at the longer runs. 1t
is claimed that neither Johnson nor Sanger
can ride twenty-five miles as fast as many
others, while Titus could not live with
Sanger or Johnson in a short spin. Johnson
is probably the fastest bicycle rider in the
world for a mile. The wonderful mile rode
by Willie Windle i'll one minute, forty-six
and four-fifth seconds was reduced last year
to one minute, aud thirty-five and two
fifths seconds by John S. johnson, and the
time will come very shortly, if not this sum
mer, when the mile record will be one minute
and thirty seconds. Johnson's mile as well
as Windle's was made with a flying start.
