Bicycle Statistios,
Apropos of bicycling the following
interesting statistics show the remark-
able growth of wheeling. Ten years
ago there were only six bicycle manu-
factories in the country. Now there
are 139. The total number of new
wheels turned out this year will ex-
ceed 450,000. There are over 60,000
riders in New York City, and upwards
of 2,000,000 in the United States.
