SMITH That good old ‘‘Sunday Ride”’ is being taken on two rather than four wheels in many areas today. Bicycles, it must be admitted, do not create problems of pollution or fuel supply..our two major points of concern. They may eventually become a popular, if not major, mode of transporortation up here in the Sierra Foothills with proper trail provision being made for riders’ protection and enjoyment. Bicycles have an interesting history. .even more fascinating than that of the automobile in many respects. The earliest forms of the machine may be said to have come with the development of the wheel which began in the fourth century before Christ. Bikes appear on bas-reliefs in Egypt, but the first in ‘‘modern”’ times was that contraption exhibited in France, in 1791, the invention of one Comte de Sivrac. It was merely a wooden bar connected to two wheels which could be propelled, if somewhat clumsily, along the ground — but which had no steering device. The first really rideable bicycle was that constructed by Kirkpatrick Macmillan of Dumfriesshire in Scotland in 1839. From that time the race was on to see who could devise the most practical twowheeled means of personal transportation. In the 1880’s the threewheeler, or tricycle, was promoted as a safe and desirable vehicle for ladies and hildren to use. Then there came upon the transportation scene a two-seater, or ‘‘tandem”’, which inspired the famous old song, “On A Bicycle Built For Two.” The first popularity peak for these vehicles was felt in American communities after the development of the coaster brake and pneumatic tires; and, with the addition of the chain drive a really sophisticated bicycle created volume demand during the last decade of the 19th Century. In 1899 there were than 300. factories g.more than a million BICYCLE RIDING is the thing to do in 1973, not only locally but nationwide. Not only is the exercise good for you but this mode of transportation helps reduce pollution. in large cities such as San Francisco, it is often easier to get around on a bike'than by car through the crowded streets. generally diminished with the advent of the automobile in the United States; but cycling remained a highly popular activity in Europe where today the majority of bicycles are being manufactured in Italy, France and Great Britain. Again, however, within the past decade the two-wheeler has come back with a tremendous impact in the USA. Dieters use them, students use them, pleasure seekers use them, and there are a few recorded cases of bikes being used as ‘“‘getaway”’ vehicles in robberies, holdups and pas Today there are 80 million registered cyclists in the United States. One can easily find bike clubs, bikeways, bike legislation, bike rallys, cyclethons for charitable benefits, speed trials, speed races, and many, many more such outlets for their use. The bicycle is no longer a mere leisuretime hobby and it certainly is no oddity in places such as the University of California at Davis, where there are twice as many bikes as there are automobiles on campus.
