ABOUT BICYCLES.
Proper Gear For Comfortable Riding e
Narrow Tread Desirable.

The question as to what the proper
gear of "a wheel should be il one that
perpleXes bicycle riders more than any
other problem of wheel adjustment 1t
is question eacn one has to decide for
him or herself, as different persons are
apt to ride better with different gears.
The knowledge that with a higher gear
one goes further at one revolution of the
pedals induces many to put gearing on
their wheel which is not likely to produce
the best results. They are apt to forget
that not only does it require more
down when it is geared up high, but that
the friction is also slightly increased. 1t
is a common mistake made by new riders
to try and push a high gear. Racing
machines, which are usually very light
and are ridden on the best tracks by men
in perfect physical condition, are gener-
ally geared from Y to 81, and sometimes
even higher If a rider has great strength
IN his legs a y or even so gear is not too
high on good roads, but for long runs
over ordinary or poor roads a high gear
is fatigueing and takes much from the
pleasure of a ride. The radius of a wheel
is known as the long arm of the lever.
The pedal crank is the short arm. The
shorter the crank the more power or
weight is required to balance the end of
the long arm wheel. AS the pedal crank
is increased in length the weight required
on the pedal is diminished. For instance
a wheel geared to GO inches. with a 61a
inch crank and bearing a pressure on the
rim of one pound requires 4S5 pounds
weight on the pedal to balance it, while
with the same gear and an inch crank
the pedals would have to travel 9.42 inches
further than with 81 inch crank, which
would netralize the advantage gained by
increased leverage. AS the average rider
cannot adapt himself to the stroke of the
pedal, which is easy for the cyclist of
great strength and reach he must be
fitted with a crank and gear best suited
tn his mowers Experiments have shown
that a 615 or So inch crank is the best
for men. while a 6 inch crank is about
right for women. Many riders, however,
find a 71b inch crank and a high gear
satisfactory. but with this combination
the rear wheel should be strongly con-
structed, as there is very heavy lateral
pull on the spokes while hill climbing,
and unless made of the best material
the spokes are apt to snap.
In selecting a wheel one with a narrow
tread is desirable. The disadvantages of
a wide tread are that with the feet far
apart pedaling is more awkwardly accom-
plished loss of power results and the
appearance of the rider is not improved.
The opinion sometimes expressed that
1t is impossible to have the tread
too narrow is one which need not worry
the rider ordinarily, since this possibility
exists only where an attempt is made
to reduce the tread by bringing the ball
races too close together. or the sacrificing
of other points. regarding all OF which
any firstc' ass maker is a better judge than
the shreWdest novice can be. AS a rule,
there is no necessity for the axle of a
safety to exceed five inches in length
