Indoor Bicycle Riding.

Nowadays every one wants to ride
bicycle. but many do not attempt
it because they dread the ordeal of
learning. In the first place, they dis
like the idea of abrasions and bruises,
and, in the second, they can hardly
bring themselves to the sacrifice of
dignity which the tiounderings of the
beginner usually entail. They need
no longer hesitate. The bicycle can
now be learned indoors. safe from
prying eyes and without fear of falls.
A new appliance designed for this pur-
pose consists of a small fly-wheel, COW
cred with rubber, and two side wheels,
fitted with simple arrangement by
means of which it can be adjusted to
any kind of cycle in two minutes. Its
great advantage is that the rider ex-
periences the same momentum as in a
spin on hard road. while the ma
chine either remains stationary or
moves SO slowly that i'll traversing
fifteen feet the same amount Of exer-
else is obtained as in a mile of or.
dinary travelling. Practice can thus
be carried on in a hall or room, and
the riders can gauge the rate of speed
their exertions would have given them
on the highway. For beginners, chill
drcn and invalids needing physical ex-
ercise this invention is specially adapt
ed, as it stands perfectly steady and
enables the difficulties of mounting
and dismounting to. be thoroughly
overcome without any danger of falls
or bruises. The appliance is collal,-
sible, weighs fifteen pounds and can
be easily carried in the hand.
