The subject OF bicycle touring is y
which has been widely discussed. and
in regard to which a great deal of ad-
vice has been given. Lists of the

the tourist could possibly need has
been omitted. but-and here lies the
mistake-a vast number of things
which she could dispense with have
been included in this outfit. From
this cause largely has come the dissat-
isfaction which has been expressed re-
garding bicycle tours. Too many OF
them have been undertaken by per-
