novel investigation has been conducted by
an Englishman, F. ]. W. Whipple. OF trinity
College. Cambridge. in regard to the staoility
Of q bicvcle's motion at different speeds and the
conditions under which the use Of the hands
for steering can best be dispensed with MT.
Whipple finds four Critical velocities whlch
seem - him representative. He desighates
them for convenience "V l" Nv = " ana
va" The first OF these symbols STANDS lor
10 miles AN hour the second for 10.4, the third
for So and the last for IA.
For very high speeds-that is to cay, above
V1-the motion OF the bicycle is unstable, but
may be rendered stable II the rider either turns
the front wheel with his hands, toward the
side to which he is likely TO fall, or leans MS
body in the opposite direction Mr.. Whipple
recommends the latter expedient In preference 10
the other, because the amount Of force that must
be exerted when turning the handle is CONSIDER
able. Veocities between l and V = (about
eleven miles an hour afford the greatest staoil-
ity and render the use of the hands on the steer
ing apparatus, or the swinging OF the oody from
side to side needless This. then. is the speed
that gives the rider the largest degree OF lhue-
pendence. according to the Cambridge expert.
When the speed gets below z the motion
becomes less stable again If the rider does not
use the handles Instability should now be cor
rected by leaning slightly in the same direction
as that toward which he tends to fall This
procedure is different from that which Is recon-
mended at velocities above V l. For very
slow speed anywhere below V 4. for instance
IL is wise. II not necessary to rely mainly on
the handles, although leaning may assist In re-
storing the balance

The competitor is thrown completely upon

with the outside world, and is to all intents and
