Speaking of chains, some cyclists who
are riding wheels OF the 1896 model
cannot understand why 1t Is that their
bicycles go so much harder this year

about 10 per cent more exertion to push II

a bicycle is not expected to run with the
same smoothness after seasons hard

gested that a thorough examination be

young wife, who became the pioneer of fe-
