not
s. Taken with Sir Benjamin Richard
sons views, the distinguished medical
authority, recently quoted in the RECORD
UNION, the opinions of nine-tenths of all
physicians is that children should not
ride the wheel. or if so, very little.
Summed up, the judgment of the doctors
justifies the cool and impartial person IN
this conclusion-the use of the bicycle in
moderation by the fairly healthy man is
a good thing. Used to excess by any one,
1T is bad thing. Used by some women
at any time it is very bad; by all women
at some times it is bad, by some women
at some times it is beneficial. By chill
dren its use is. as rule, not advisable,
and by young girls it should not be used
at all; that in moderation the use of the
wheel is of infinitely greater benefit than
injury to the mass of the people using it;
that in excess it is so very bad that it
ought TO be condemned on all sides.
The REcoRD-UNIoN has examined a
large number OF essays upon the subject,
has studied the opinions of probably 300
of the leading physicians of Eastern and
California communities as published in
the Eastern press and home journals. 1t
has sought out all that bicyclsts and
manufacturers have had to say in print
on the subject, and it has consulted the
experience of riders, excessive and mod
crate. in San Francisco and Sacramento,
and its conclusion from all the informa-
ton ObtainaDle is that stated in the pre-
ceding paragraph as the result of the
interviews with the Oakland and San
Francisco physicians.
We believe that there is a bicycle rid
ing lad that is in danger of being carried
to excess; that like all new things there
is involved the risk of running it into

hand, there are, in and out of the medi-
cal profession, lot of people making OBJ
jectiOns to the wheel just as much a fad,
and that great many of them borrow
their fears, and draw their conclu-
sions from their fancy, their vanity and
disposition to appear learned. Assuredly
some of the statements of physicians are
so absurd as to bear no other interpreta-
ton, and others are clearly made in igno-
rance of the conditions involved in BIZ
cycle riding.
There is one very sensible doctor whose
Judgment corresponds with that of many
experienced riders, namely: that there is
needed and will come decided reforma-
ton in the bicycle saddle. 1t is now too
small, in that il does not distribute the
weight sufficiently. The ideal saddle
will be modelled after design that will
give more support in its width, more
spring without unseating. and will be
absolutely free from pressure upon the
body where pressure is most injurious,

and vile, it falsifies and knows it. The
of sensational journalism, which is doing

not, as our contemporary demagogically
