probably smeared over your bicycle. The most

something Of the kind. There is certainly a
welcome awaiting the successful electric bicycle

One nice point in regard to the production Of
the current mechanically Is the kind of lamp re-

certain amperage and voltage and there would
be limits to the speed at which bicycle could be
