The Muddy Roads OF Yesterday No Obstacle

Thousands OF bicycle riders we're enticed out
on the muddy roads yesterday by the sunshine
and the mild air. 1t was not so fine a day

ond-story window. Riders got little chance to
enjoy the Rlories OF the sky overhead. They
wero kept busy looking for the mud puddles
and places to be avoided. The asphalt routes
were the best. and thorouRhfares such
as Eighth avenue and the Boulevard were
moro travelled than the Riverside Drive or
any Of tho roads beyond the Harlem. Not

Tho increasing. tendency toward tho use of
higher gears and longer cranks is even now
noticeable on tho roads. There seems little
doubt that a majority of riders find It more
comfortable TO push harder and move, the
legs slower. Gears as low as 03 and "a have
almost disappeared, Even the women on drop
frames are now riding wheels geared from 40
TO 80. with long cranks. The longer cranks
give greater leverage, but when n woman uses
them tho motion suggests power more than
grace.
