How to Breathe ON the Bike.

The mere fact of being mounted upon
q bicycle does not insure perfect enjoy
ment. There are many little things to
be taken into consideration, such as the
matter of adjustment, the knowledge of
pedaling and proper dress. But Golden
Days thinks that more important, per
haps, than any other one thing is the
matter of proper breathing. which often
counts as much as muscular strength.
The easier person breathes the easier
he may ride, but by ease of breathing
should be understood long, regular res
pirations, avoiding any tendency to
short, quick breaths Those troubled
with nasal disorders are often compelled
to breathe through the mouth, and when
riding at good rate rapid exhalation is
almost unavoidable. This manner of
breathing is always injurious and is
more than apt to lead to heart or lung
trouble. The mere rapidity of move
ment is not in itself sufficient to bring
about this "shortness of breath, as it
is familiarly known, but must be &C
companied by intense muscular effort
in order to produce it, and may, there
fore, be attributed to general muscular
fatigue. When rider begins to feel a
weakness of this kind, he should at once
reduce his pace, or dismount and rest,
making at the same time practice. of
breathing through the nose with slow
exhalations through the mouth.
