HOW TO ENJOY
THEi WHEEL.
: It is, perhaps, fortunate j that every
owner ot a bicycle is not iti the bicvcla
business. It lis a itwell-known
fact, says The Wheel. that
some of the people who are! engaged in
the various branches of the trade do
not have the same enthusiasm for ac
tual riding that they had befQie the bi
cycle became a means of tlheit making
a living. It is so in otherHthings. A
hardware man likes 40 talk of other
matters than the price of tools and
steel, when he leaves his ftface of busi
ness. A literary man often tries 6 get
away from people who want to talk
books. B?t it is a fact, and one that
happny many of those in the cycle trn.Je
recognize, tliat the best .way! to get iway
irom the bicycle in its commercial sense
is to get onto a bicycle anna ride it into
the country. jj

that 'he does not strike iout into the
