cycling is not very dangerous recrea-
tiOn. after all, as is proved by statistics.

would have prevented the mischief. An

the country if not in the city. a rider is
liable to be caught in the rain, and the
water is almost certain to penetrate the
bearings unless there is oil inside. He
uses felt washers, to exclude the dust,
and finds no gum, paste or other un-
