Art of Pedaling.

entirely too many of the later converts
to cycling get the full advantage of
ignorant of the art of pedaling," says a
cycling paper. 1T is not sufficient to let the
feet revolve. Some attention to the position
of feet and to the manner in which the force
is employed is necessary. Now, the proper
part to rest on the pedal is the feshy part
between the toes and the arch of the foot
Some riders avoid the fault of placing the
arch on the pedal only to fall into the equal
ly grave error of using the toes. 1t is true
that many experienced riders are accustomed
to ease themselves during long ride by
changing the position of the foot, but this
is never plan to be followed by novices who
should endeavor to acquire such a fixed
habit of pedaling correctly that it will become
second nature.

Right TO Sidewalks.

Henry B. Davis, a prominent lawyer of
st. Louis, gives the following opinion on
the question of bicycle ordinances: Per
nit me to say a word or two about the
both of which are vehicles in the purview
of any ordinance of any city in which the
question of vehicles arises. First, both We
hices should be required to go on the
street when the street is passable for them
but in case the street Is not passable for a
bicycle then the bicyclist has a right to
use the sidewalk in spite of any munich
patty. 1t is required OF the city to pro-
vide streets passabe for vehicles, and in
case they do not then the vehicle has the
right to the use OF that part of the street
set apart for foot passengers for the pur-
pose of transportation in that locality.

In addition to the fact that the use of brake
saves the rider much back-pedaling labor,
its possession enables him to run faster than
he otherwise would venture to do down many
hills happy in the consciousness of being able
to pull up should any emergency arise. For
touring purposes. especially in country that
is not well known. a reliable brake is an
indispensable adjunct; though in ordinary
riding over roads, particularly if these be
moderately level, 1t is quite safe for practiced
riders to rely upon back pedaling alone, for
it may be noted that this check can be
brought into more instantaneous action than
anY brake.
