loSetHeI lHe pdufOllS ol tic SpOTl. f1uT- ry has taken the place of goodfellow- ship. The scorcher is the typical wheelman, and speed is the desidera- tum of all. There is now no pleasure taken in the. journey itself. The cen- tury run and the number of miles one can make in a given time are the goals of present wheeling ambition. The low cred handlebars and the racing atti- tudes are the marks of the majority, the plodder is held up to ridicule. And yet, who shall say, who can say, that the plodder of a by-gone wheeling age, satisfied with his half-dozen miles an hour, and studying as one would an in- teresting book the country through which he travels, did not enjoy himself as much, nay more, tban now does the human whirlwind who. pedals across the landscape at pace at least treble that of his predecessor? What does he care for the best point of view and the best places to rest? He stops, maybe, but only to mend an unwelcome puncture or to tighten loosened nut, then on again in his never-ending rush, till tired na- ture demands relief or hunger compels him to pause in order that he may re- store the vitality that he has consum- ed in his headlong pursuit of-what? I have ridden the wheel for seventeen years I am as great lover of the sport to-day as I was when I learned of it's seductive pleasures. I have never ridden a century and I have yet to be made to understand the pleasure-if pleasure there be-in the treadmill oc- cupation of piling up miles on the cy- clometer, with no other object in view than the top of ones front wheel and few feet of the rapidly approaching roadway.
