 Munich, Aug. 17 = (UP) = For servicemen stuck in Europe who can't get their sports in any other way, there are always the "six month'' bicycle races to watch.
 The parade goes on endlessly on the sleek superhighways that Hitler laid out all over Germany, and to 8 lesser degree in all of the other Eu- ropean countries. It is 8 combina- tion of the six-day bike races they used to hold at Madison Square Garden, c. c. leash and carry) Pyle's bunion derby cwith wheels) 1. and those dilly Ringling Brothers trapeze artists who took everything but the kitchen sink with them when they rolled their bicycles onto the circus tight ropes.
 Everywhere it is g standard gag with the soldiers that tomorrow there'l be 8 piano" They mean that tomorrow they wouldn't be the least surprised to see some hefty cyclist wheeling along with baby grand or a refrigerator, or at least an over stuffed couch on his back. Bicycles are most common in the Bavarian section of Germany where private automobiles and motorcycles are rarities and there are only a few woodburning private trucks to break up the bicycle parade.
 Live On Bikes
 Because legs are the foundation for the development of most of the worlds great athletes, this should be a haven for enterprising sports promoters. The sturdy bronzed Ba- varians are the most robust people in all Europe. They seem to live on bikes. They have the mountain air and they have good food in compar- ative abundance.
 | Peddling about these foothills tc the Alps might be future heavy weight champion, most certainly standout six-day bike racer, a Davis Cup tennis star, or German Gun der Hagg whose speed and stamina might be keyed to keen degree with only small amount of proper coaching.
 It is the consensus of the touring sports writers that if German Frau leins had the time to devote to it some of the hefty girls would make a big splash in the postwar inter. national sport scene, provided o1 course that the big-wigs of the Olympic games permit athletic fra termination.
 A common sight is a mother ol big sister riding to work in tht fields with a four-year-old riding piggy-back and a six-year-old on the handlebars. Sometimes the bike is so concealed by the load that il is scarcely discernible.
 Because Bavarians apparentl, were raised on bikes they even make love on wheels, riding along hand ir hand or on bicycles built for two which are almost extinct in the United States.
