THE DARK SIDE OF CYCLING.
Nothing but the bright side of cycling ba.i been written during the last few months. We are told of the speed of wheeling all over the world, with the estimate of experts that the output for 1896 will be quite 2,000,000 cycles. Breakages, followed with vexatious delay of repairers, is the dark side, bur. this is made bright by the introduction of interchangeable cycles. The "Star" Company are now selling machines which, if broken, can be immediately put in running order by fitting a duplicate part, at a cost of a few shillings. £23 103 Star for £20.
