Car Fares and bicycling.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat. ~
A new rider with a new wheel is as airy
and imaginative as the traditional boy
with his first pair of trousers. One OF the
new riders most laughable hallucinations
is that, by purchasing a wheel, he has be-
come economical instead of extravagant.
1t is customary to hear the new rider de-
fend himself from the charges Of extrava-
gance in the purchase of bicycle by the
declaration that he will. by the use of it,
soon save in car fares alone more than the
wheels cost Let no man delude himself
with any such idea. Supposing it we're
possible for him to ride a bicycle to and
from his work each of the 300 working days
in the year-and such a superstition is away
beyond the probabilities IN the case-he
would store up in car fare savings but $50
per annum, at which rate it would take
just three years and four months for him
to garner the 500 pile his wheel had cost
him.
Therefore, such arguments are fallacious,
and should al once and forever be abandon
ed. Don't hide behind subterfuse so weak
as this car fare allega tion. Be honest with
yourself and the world: say 1t right out, so
all may hear you. that you have bought a
wheel because you want to ride one. be-
cause OF the pleasure it gives and the wider
scope it gives You when an outing Is posi-
BILE. If that is not sufficient TO silence those
who criticise you, leave them to their ways
and go yours awheel, satisfied that your
Investment in a bicycle yields you never
failing dividends of health AID happiness.
