BICYCLE RIDING.

become popular again this year Perhaps SO, athougn
the hills UP which you have to push are just as gh as

The young men of twenty years ago who owned bl-
cycles have in great bought automobiles
Their sons if Of the athletic type, have probably
bought motorcycles. The boys never expend more leg
muscle than is necessary to accomplish their ends While
the motorcycle racks the cid adys and keeps the
whole countryside camorous the youngsters enjoy the
pleasurable racket
One well remembers the pages of bicycle advertising
the magazines once carried They set forth how weak
and invalid indoor workers could health the
fascinating wheel 1t made country life possible as the
office man and the workers could live IN the suburbs and
wheel in to work Nothing said about dust rain or
winter weather Men of very slender physical ability
would take their ffty-nile century runs. They
returned thoroughly exhausted but enjoyed it. Usually
they sold their wheels after a few years Of it.
1t was phenomenal also what the girls could do. They
weren't found sitting around piazzas long when their
brothers and sweethearts were twenty miles away The
most amazing distance feas accomplished by slight
feminine creatures who previously had handled nothing
more athletic than an embroidery needle.
The bicycle is tremendously useful today for working
people, and many business finds it the easiest way
to get around to his customers if these located in

sizes Many grownups would find it still exceedingly
giving recreation induged in in moderation But
present day sentiment favors the cushions of automo
