A STRAIGHT BACK ON THE WHEEL.
Keep Your Spine in Line by bending
over the Bars.

OF all the popular mistakes about bicy-
cling that of the hump or camel back
is the most common. We are told that
the habit of leaning forward upon the
handle bars so as to get greater leverage
upon the pedals and to offer less resist
ance to the air, has a tendency to bring
about an abnormal development upon the
back and shoulders, which is called the
bicycle hump" Nothing could be more
absurd.
Just note the first wheelman you see
scorching towards you with body well
bent over his work As his head is down
you will see at a distance what appears
from your point of vision to be round
ing or hump between the shoulder blades
al the back of the neck. AS he approaches
this fancy will be shown to have been
but an optical Illusion, and when you look
al him from the rear you see at once
that the body Is perfectly straight, hent
only at the hips. The very forward pres
sure Of the mans weight upon the handle
bars has tendency to force the Shout
der blades squarely back, so that IL IL
were possible to cause a deformity II
would necessarily be that of hollow
back rather than that of a hump.
On the other hand. by way of contrast
note the man who sits bolt upright in the
saddle. As he faces you you are again
deceived. He appears to be erect and his
shoulders square, but as he goes by you
will note, If he be an old wheelman that
there Is a decided tendency to roundness
or dropping of the shoulders caused by
his method of obtaining leverage to work
his pedals Being upright he cannot get
sufficient power IN his Weight alone when
the difficulties Of an up grade are en-
countered, so he must pull forward upon
his grips, and IL is this constant downward
tension that sooner or later brings about
a more or less slanting OF the shoulders
from that square form, the pride of every
athlete. J. Mclean French.
