Bicycles Popular in Belgium.

The bicycle is popular as a means OF
cheap loeomotion in Belgium. Womer
as well as men use bicycles extensive
ly. The fiat country and the spirit OF
the people favor the riding of bicycles
and their use is increasing. The ordi,
nary machine is painted black (enamel)
with chain gear, and supplied with two
hand brakes which act by COMPRISING
rubber pads against the rims of front
and back wheels. The coaster break is
not popular in Belgium at present. Only
one make of bicycle ("Saphir," manu-
featured in Belgium, seems to be sup
piled with the coaster brake. Many
bicycles are supplied with thin metal
covering for chain and gear. A certain
American make is wen known and very
popular in Belgium, but impossible to
obtain at present because of shipping
difficulties and lack of agents. Bicycle
shops would buy them eagerly If they
had an opportunity. Lows eared ma
chimes are preferred.
A number Of English makes, espe-
cially those of the Arrow company and
the Birmingham Steel association are
sold in Belgium. Previous TO the war
the average bicycle sold for $50 francs

franc, $500, Dealers are now asking
