Beventy-Wx, 'It is reported, is just now the
popular gear with riders in Belgium. (
Wisconsin wheelmen have a plan on foot
to hold an encampmentof cyclists near Mil- ,
waukee next summer.
At a meeting of the council of the National
Cyclists' Union, held in London, England, ]
it was decided to abolish road racing ana i
road record attempts.
Riding with toe-clips Is vastly easier than |
without, and no rider who ovor used toe-, i
clips continuously for a week was after- '
ward content to ride without them. . j

after the jockey stylo that has become so ]
popular with riders slaoe the authmn of
1996. - j
A new kind of bicycle raco is being run in
Belgium. The competitors are taken to a 1
Eiace unknown to them, an* they are tbea <
ift to find their way to a fixed spot. Tho <
first man hopae is the winner.
It la an odd sight that may bo witnessed 1
In the streets of Paris or auy of the largo
cities of France, when priests in long flow- ,
inc eleriool robes ride along on ladles' j
wheels, their apparel not permitting the
use of a diamond frame machine.
The cycling rales are most rigidly upheld
la Gorm&am. An amateur In a recent race
there has last been disqnallfled and classed
as a professional because he wore a sash
the same as his pacemakers, upon which
was prirted the name of the machine he
rode. I
The n? of toe-clips, even by lady riders,
Is steadly increasing. They make pedaling
easier afd the foot pressure more uniform
and more constant; they keep the foot In
plaee, prevent the slipping of pedals at critical
times and save the rider many bad falls
and perhapa serious accidents.

he has la vented a btcyile on which
it Is possible to make great progress in the
polar regions. During the lost three winters
he has experimented successfully with
his machine on Lake Erlo. The machine
is so constructed that It Is as easy to propel
it on a rough surfaoe as on perfectly
smooth Ice. 4
To be able to ri$le n wheel graeefully Is
an accomplishment that may apmo day
stand certain classes In good stead. This
Is a natural Inference after reading the following
advertisement which appeared recently
in a dally paper: "A la % of education
required as a companion. Most have
a thorough knowledge of housekeeping and
bh able to cycle."
I Many cyclists complain that since taklag
k> wheeling they have been troubled with
sore throats,particularly In warm weather,
which, to them, is quite inexplicable. To
ihe veteran rider, however, the canso of
the average novice's trouble is plain?it ts
due to his cycling in a linen collol. In hot
weather tho exertion 'of riding/causes tho
beginner to become very warm. With tho
result that his collar becomes damp with
perspiration. This naturally produces Its
