The Habit of holding tho handle Bar at
the Center.

The Iiab;t of Holding the Handle Iiar at
the Center.
Assume. If yoa please, that the grips
are properly placed at the ends Of the
handle har, from I to Is inches apart.
and that the proper place for the riders
hands is on the ggips. The fact remains
that the average rider seldom touches
his grips ia riding, bat grips the naked
bar on either side of and close to the
top of the steering heai Are we TO in.
Ger from this that the standard of handle
bar construction is all wrong and that
the grips should be- as tho top OF the
bar and not moro than eight inches
apart. on that the bar should be left
long to meet the exigcncies of rough
riding, whiie the material of which the
grips are made should cover the entire
bar up 70 within IN inch or two Of the
center. OF that it woud be we'll TO have
"A pair of supplementary grips at the
place indicated by the position assumed
by the rider, or whatY
Undoubtedly the present standard
handle bar is correct The average
rider, for ole thing, has his grips drop
ped so low that he cannot reach them
conveniently, so that his easiest position
is with his hands on tie top of the bar,
and again many riders, with level or up
turned bars, who are able TO roach their
grips comfortably, have acquired the
habit of grasping the nickel in defer
ence TO the popular idea We think that
every rider ia obliged at times 20 use
his grips Full handle bar leverage is
necessary whenever steering Is rendered
difficult by rough surface or otherwise
Al such times every rider finds that the
standard bar comes in handy. Supple
mentary grips would detract measura-
bly, from the trim appearance of the
handle bar, and it may be doubted
whether cyclists as class would tolcr-
ate them. A bar entirely covered with
cork or other grip material would speed

looking object in comparison with the
