Racing equipment is out of place on the road. Zigzag hill climbing is easier taan the straight lift. Snapping and creaking of the chain is a surc indication that it wants !ubrieating. Hard riding dlrectly after a meal is very bad, and hard eating directly after a ride is even worse. The man who tries to please every one in hij. cycling seldom pleasej anybcdy- Zeast of all himself. All the raarned uproar of physiciana about her.rt di3ease is lost o.n habitu:il Bcorchers and chronic hill climbers. If you want to steer well let you cyes meet the surt'ace of the gi'ound at a point not less than 30 feet ahead of the bicycle. Not one rider in a dozen ever thinks of cleansjng the outer suvface of a tire, yet it is advisable to aceasioiuil'.y give the outer shoe a thorough cleansing, if qaly for the ake of looks.
