ROADS INSTEAD OF RACES.
wheeImen Getting what They Want
at New York

The l.. A. w. consulate of New York
is receiving every attention from the new
administration of the greater city. and
the prospect is that before midsummer
nearly all of the street features objec-
tionable to wheelmen will be remedied.
I This includes not only new paving in
various places, but the hating Of ears at
crossings, doing away with cab stands at
various points, and many other little
things that are great in the eyes IF cy-
clists. The consulate has arranged Il
smoker" admission TO which will be free
to League members. II every city hal a
local J.. A. ". organization as active ana
efficient as the one in New To-k has be-
come there would be no room for the
question: What does the League do
Discussion of whether or not the l.. A.
w. should continue to control racing is
lively here just now. The sentiment in
favor of the League giving up racing and
combining itself to good roads work finds
many supporters. and il seems to he sain-
ing strength. Racing enthusiasts and
those interested in race promoting oppose
the idea bitterly. Meanwhile Il is said
that the Century Road Club of Amer lea
is watching the situation with keen inter
est. and members of the organization
hint that when the time com IS. # il ever
does. when the League aband0ns racing
the Road Club will be found ready t. step
into its place.
As a burlesque on the high scar and
big sprocket fad. a Camden. y. j.. dealer
has built a bicycle having 0-inch wheels
and front sprocket feet in diameter.
IL is geared to 5J5.
On days when the roads are muddy
bevel gear and inclosed chain wheels
seem to be proportionately more plentiful
the idea of the riders being, probably, to
test their new possession and exhibit
themselves on machines that don't care
a rap what the roads are like.
The New York representative of a large
and long established manufacturer pre-
diets scarcity of wheels in the spring.
his theory being that makers are keeping
down their output. while low prices are
creating booming demand.
A gear case manufacturer explains
that one of the chief reasons why Eng
lish cases do not give satisfaction over
here, while the American gear case is
making a hit, is because the foreign de-
vices are simply mud protectors and do
not exclude dust, the English roads be-
ing always muddy while ours are usually
dusty. American riders could not see the
point of using an article that offered on
ly partial protection, so the American
cases with dust-proof and waterproof
joints of rubber that exclude dust and
all foreign substances from both chain
and bearings made their appearance as
a matter of course and wrought a change
of heart with riders on the gear case sub
ject.
A small, adjustable mirror attached to
the handle bar of a bicycle is not a sign
of vanity in a rider. The idea of such
an appliance for the purpose of seeing
behind one on the road is fad that is
growing In popularity. If desired. riders
can use it to see their own faces. Wo-
men. who use 1t mostly, say, however,
that they use it only for back sighting.
