BICYCLE TOURING IN EUROPE
Notes on Wheeling In Different Conn.

"eehhH IN Different COun-
tries of the Continent
Ii. w. Dunning In the Congregationalist
bicyciists go to Europe in yearly increas-
ing numbers. Probably this is the most
satisfactory way for party of young men
VINO wish to travel at a minimum expense.
It's use. however. is by no means confined
to young men. Many ladies take their ma

Joyment of a bicycle trip The greatest oh
Jectlon Is that one is SO dependent upon the
weather. 1t is an inexpicable fact that
the bicyclist In a shower always thinks he
Is getting much wetter than If he were
walking.
Denmark has always treated the bicycle
hospitality. No duty has ever been levied
on 1t. and the rider is well treated by the
public and at the hotels. Every dog banks
at him, but he seems to do it as a matter
of duty, for he rarely goes any further.
Ihe country has good roads, plenty of day
light In summer and comfortable hotels in
all large towns. If one can escape the fe-
quent showers he will have very pleasant

some respects more interesting people
But the distances are long and sometimes
the country is monotonous. Norway is
more mountainous and a triie more show

can be taken in all parts of Germany. Bel
gan roads are often paved for miles with
unreliable cobble stones France has good
roads ana IN the southern part excellent
weather in spring and fall. The peasants,
unfortunately, have their shoes filled with
heavy headed nails. These drop out on the
road, and, as they are always found with

In these countries a bicycle accompanied

quire the deposit of a heavy duty. The
former country has excellent roads and an
interesting trip can be planned in the TyrOl.
In its southern portion the Dolomites offer
a field not yet opened by the railroad. Italy
is hot and dusty in summer, but this does
not deter every one. L have had no expert
ence in Russia, but met a couple of Fin
landerS in Sweden last summer who in
formed me that bicycists were numerous
there, and it is probable that they do not
meet with more trouble and restrictions
than other travellers.
The cyclists touring club has done much
for tourists. Special privileges and prices
are accorded to its members at many no.
tells, repair shops and custom houses. They
have access to specially prepared road
, places in Europe. The touring club of
France holds similar position on the con-
tinent. There are also local organizations
sometimes covering large territory, which
it is advisable to join if enc intends to
cycle there for some time.
