Many riders. however. have no thought OF lay
Ing their wheels aside yet and, indeed will keep
them ready for use throughout tho winter. This
year cold and snow have come uncommonly
early, but even on the coolest days of the last
week a good many wheelmen have been seen
abroad apparently enjoying themselves. Ord-
narily there is good riding in this latitude up to
Christmas. and even later and hardy riders
contrive to cover q good number OF miles in
January and February. To enjoy wheeling In
cold weather one must be dressed for 1t prop
erly. Good warm clothing is needed. but II
ought not to be too heavy. a long overcoat is
nuisance Better results can be attained by the
use Of cardigan jacket. or something OF that
kind underneath the coat. The hands and feet
are most difficult to keep comfortable. Mittens
are preferable to gloves for the hands. and they
should be OF thick wool; there Is nothing
perioy to the old-fa.hioned knitted mitten. Ths
feet also must be clad In heavy WOOL with
comparatively loose shoes. Seeing how much
exercise the feet get the bicycle. it might
seem that the circulation OF the blood would
be sufficient TO keep them warm. but many
riders complain that they suffer more from cold
feet than from any other cause
A judge on the other side OF the water has de-
cided that bicycle Is no more a vehicle than
a pair Of skates. This is not the generally ac-
cepted view in this country. In this State the
bicycle is expressly declared by law to be
hcle and subject to all the rights and privileges
enjoyed by other vehicles But the par-of-
skates view also seems to be taken IN the more
recent law providing that the railroads of the
State must treat bicycles as ordinary baggage
when offered for transportation There is no
real inconsistency between tho two conceptions.
