Cycling Notes.

Cyclists who at every opportunity trail up a motor car to escape a headwind, or do a bit of fast pedalling, should note that an English County Court judge has laid it down that cyclists who indulge in this dangerous practice do so at their own risk, and must look for no redress in case of accident.

There are a hundred and one things that, cyclists should know about the cycle tyres they ride. Their mode of manufacture and their proper treatment when fitted to a cycle are important matters that have a big influence on the pleasures of cycling. All these particulars and much valuable information can be gleaned from the artistic booklet “ All about Dunlop Tyres for 1906,” which the Dunlop Rubber Co. or your local cycle agents will bo pleased to supply you gratis. Every cyclist should make a, point, of securing a copy. It is well worth the trouble.

A most ia-'- resting petrol consumption lest was recently held in Paris. The car used was a 16 22 h.p. Berliet, which travelled 02 miles at die rale of 46 miles an hour on 2 gallons of petrol. As the car and its occupants weighed one and a half tons, and covered an olit and homo course twice on less than 16 pints of petrol, tho feat is considered to be a somewhat remarkable one in Continental Motoring circles. A specially designed carburetter was used in the trial, to which is given the credit of the small fuel consumption.
