The Bicycle Stoop.
The safety stoop is becoming universal. The almost invariable tendency of the bicycle rider is toward the "racing form," and if this is persisted m an upright man, physically speaking, will be an exception among us and the "safety stoop" will become the rule. , The "safety" bicycle is a practical machine, which the "ordinary" was not, but the "safety" has an influence upon its rider to stoop as m caressment which the "ordinary" did not possess m any marked degree. The L. A. W. should incite the wheelmen to uprightness of carriage, which is next to uprightness of conduct, so that the threatened "safety stoop" may be nipped m the bud. The "stoop" is necessary m racing, where leg power is the great thing, but the human race can very well dispense with it.—Boston Transcript.
