PEDAL POINTERS,

Some Useful information About This
Part of Wheel
Pedals are classed under three
heads-rubber, rat-traps and COM
bination. Heavy square-rubber
pedals are easy to the feet and
their simple construction renders
them comparatively free from in
Jury. These old-tlmers, however,
have been largely supplanted by
rubber pedals OF a lighter variety,
having instead Of square rubbers
turning on rods, rubber strips,
securely held in place by metallic
clamps. Com bination pedals re-
semble the lighter rubber pedals
in outward appearance, but by an
ingenious device the rubbers are
detachable, and upon removing
them a regulation rat-trap pedal
remains. Rat-trap pedals are ex.
ceedingly neat to look at, and con-
tribute measurably to that close
hauled aspect OF the machine
which is so reverently regarded
by the modern cyclist. Use OF the
rat-trap pedal can hardly be
recommended for allround work,
though, doubtless, II census were
taken, the majority OF pedals now
in use would be found to be the
rat-trap kind. The saving OF an
ounce or two in weight by abandon
ing the rubbers seems, according
to the popular view, to fully war
rant the shoemaker's price for re-
pairing damage caused by the saw
teeth, and the occasional manipu-
lstion OF a file to prevent disagree
able slipping of the feet when the
teeth become worn.
Whatever form OF pedal is used
ii is we'll to remember that moth
ing exhausts the temper more
than breakage in this very i'm
portant part Of the cycle. 1t is
we'll to see to it that pedals are
without defect when purchased,
and that they are kept in good
order afterwards.-The Cyclist.
