SWEDEN SURPRISED
AT LONGEVITY OF
YANKEE MOTORCYCLE

An old 1912 model Yankee-made
motorcycle, which recently won
| first prize in the Swedish newspa-
lpers ALTON BladetS' economy COM
petition, one of the most important
motorcycle events of the year IN
that country, is causing quite a
sensation among motorcyclists OF
Sweden. The machine is of the
single cylinder belt drive variety
and has been ridden very hard for
nine years; yet despite this long
service, is still in Al condition. Or
liginally it was purchased in Chi
cago by S. s. Windrow, who re-
ceived seven years faithful service
from 1t. 1t was then sold to It's
present owner and winner of the
economy test, Hedge Warner OF
Stockholm, Sweden, who took II
apart piece by piece, and then re-
assembled it, finding that there
was not sign of wear in any one
lpart of the machine. He later de-
/ cided to make it a chain drive ma
chine with footboard and kick
starter. He was very successful In
making the change, and the old
machine has caused quite bit of
surprise on the streets of Stock
holm, because of it's quick get
away and its apparent power.
In the economy test, this ma
chine went 1866 metres on one
liter of gasoline, which is approx
imately ia miles on an American
gallon. The next nearest competi-

THE FORMATION OF
BICYCLE CLUBS URGED
BY THE ASSOCIATION

1t is gratifying to note the num-
Der Of bicycle clubs that are pop
ping up all over the country. Many
Y. NJ. c. A. s are inaugurating the
idea, Boy Scouts are rapidly adopt
ing it with the result that more
business is to be had by the deal
ers who interest themselves in such
organizations. Bicycle dealers are
urged to consider the Importance
of these clubs and If they will only
push the movement along, they will
surely cash in on the effort ana
time expended. Boy Scout and Y.
NJ. c. A. executives are only too
eager to entertain any suggestions
that are offered for the welfare OF
the boys and when the formation
of bicycle club is suggested, the
idea will most certainly be adopted.
To create a still greater interest in
cycling, have tho club conduct BIZ
cycle races three or four times dur
ing the year and offer prizes for
the races. The headquarters of the
association, at 35 Warren street.
New York, n. Y, will be glad to
assist in fostering this movement
and will lend its support in the way
of prizes.

STATISTICS SHOW
VERY FEW ACCIDENTS
ON THE BICYCLE

There Is an impression in the
public mind that there is large
number of accidents to users of
bicycles on the streets and high
ways of the nation.
A recent investigation of the state
Iof Connecticut, however, would
seem to disprove this theory. There.
perhaps, are as many bicycles in
Connecticut as in any other area
of equal size. With the Connecti-
cut figures as basis, therefore, it
will be shown that there are fewer
accidents to bicyclists than to any
other group of vehicle drivers
based upon an analysis Of accidents
per thousand vehicles.
The figures compiled by the Mo-
tor vehicle department of the Con-
Inecticut show a total registration
of $4,000 motor vehicles, and the
number Of bicycles ridden is esti-
mated at 10000. According to Of
fetal statistics, the ratio of the
number of bicycles per one fatality
to operator is:
Bicycles, one In 5000
Motor vehicles,
passenger cars one in 6,299
Motor vehicles,
commercial cars one in 6,003
Ratio per number = vehicles pei
one fatality to occupants, operators,
passengers, one in 1,495.

ISOLATION has gone on record as de-
string to cooperate with motor We
hicle departments of the various
states in minimizing and avoiding
accidents on highways to bicycle

THAT accidents occur to riders be-
tween the ages Of 10 and 18. In
fact, records show only three in
jone year.
The Bicycle Manufacturers asso-
citation, in furtherance Of its de-
sire to reduce accidents to the min

dealers that, when sale of a BIZ
cycle is made, they instruct the

ed that each manufacturer insert

Last month the Cincinnati Auto
mobile club put in commission three

will keep in touch with the office
so that they may be made avail

Negotiations are now pending for
1.-THE purchase of three more of the
machines in the near future. A

AWE R|CAN EXPERT
BICYCLE RIDER ON
H D VI 7 R | D [
Fred St. 0nge, One of the
Foremost Riders of BIZ
cycle in the Country,
Gives Valuable Advice.

Fred st. Onge, Americas fore
most exponent of bicycle riding.
gives some valuable advice on
choosing, equpping and adjusting
bicycle.
In the selection Of a bicycle, he
states, whether the rider is choos-
ing his first bicycle or is seasoned
user of this highly beneficial be-
hicle and has owned several wheels,
he should exercise the greatest care
in making sure the bicycle he final
ly picks out is one in every way
fitted to his Cor herr individual
physical requirements.
A bicycle with frame too high
or too low for the riders stature,
or one that is geared too high, or
one whose saddle or handlebars
are sadly in need of adjustment.
naturally results in an awkward
and uncomfortable riding. posture
and detracts greatly from the 9TH
erwise perfect pleasure of bicycling
1t must be borne in mind that
the only motive or driving power
that manipulates a bicycle is that
of the legs and feet. This power,
therefore, should be conserved and
made to produce maximum results
from minimum effort.
TO get the proper height, says
st. Onge, the rider should stand
beside his bicycle and adjust the
saddle on level with the hips.
Then sit in the saddle, having the
crank hanger at its lowest point.
In this position, the rider should
be able to touch the pedal with his
heel, the leg being bent slightly at
the knee.
The front end or nose of the sad :.
die should be on line directly
with the cranks when they are per-
pendicular. The saddle never
should be set more than one inch
back of this line.
A natural. comfortable riding po-
sition is promoted by having the
handlebars adjusted to a point prac-
tically level with the saddle. The
handlebars should not be spread
wider than the shoulders of the
rider. The rider is subjected to a
severe handicap If his mount is ad-
justed out of these limitations, and
riding then becomes laborious and
difficult, especially against strong
head wind and over hilly country
roads. In other words, with the
saddle set back of the center of
the crang hanger and the handle-
bars higher than they should be,
pleasure becomes hard work and
no progress can be made.
A bicycle rider never should pat
tern his riding position after the

more or less crouched position as
sumed by a motorcycle rider, con-
|tinues st, Onge. Should he do so,
hill climbing involves the greatest
exertion and long distance riding
becomes practically a physical i'm
possibility.
Whether bicycle is ridden as a
utility or as a pleasure vehicle, or
both, the most practical gear is
24x9, IA. or 25x9, II. A bicycle
geared too high necessitates unnec.
essary effort, makes wheel run
hard and requires undue leg and
foot pressure.
If the handlebars, saddle and
seat post are properly adjusted, the
most essential features of graceful
easy position are attained and ease
and effortless propulsion are &C
CURED. There are other adjust
ments that can be made, Mr.. ONCE
