norted for private use. Now there are probably
three thousand bicycles to be seen about Bangkok
and they are used by all classes of people. The
king of Siam rides an American bicycle of the
latest design and the ministers OF the government
are seen frequently riding TO and from their busi-
ness and even to public functions on bicycles The
Minister of the Interior has encouraged the general
use of the wheel. recognizing the good II Will 90
toward the betterment of the roads. The minister
is the president of a bicycle club which has mem
hership of four hundred. and the club runs are
