| Do you remember when you and
Skinny and Pete were II years old,
and the first day you learned TO ride
bicycle from a man you knew, and
the three of you rode way out past
| Hot Wells? DO you recollect il was
| about 103 in the shade, that you ate
a lot of apples and drank barrels of
water! Also when you started home
| you got a puncture, and they wouldn't
| let you take your bike on the street
car: Skinny and Pete rode away home
and you walked all the way back, push
ing your wheel at your side. The next
day was Monday and you woke up to
find you had fever and was covered
from head TO foot with little red dots.
Well. those days have gone forever!
No boy in San Antonio will ever
again be guilty of such a crazy trick
when Fred st. Ongc, the bicycle boost
er, gets through teaching him how to
ride, how to care for his wheel, how
TO minimize punctures, and how TO
mend them in a jiffy if they should
occur.
He will tell you when you ride and
shouldn't ride and how TO conduct your
self on crowded street. He'll show
you why only a foolish person viii
snake a bicycle, or stand up and
pump the pedals. ~
