I Rudge-Whilworih | i Britain’s Best Bicycle B A BICYCLE I |WIS ARGUMENT I « ByAppo,Btawßt INTRODUCTORY. aS With the yearly increase in the popularity of cycling. as a H pleasing pastime, as a healthful recreation, and as a means of M rapid locomotion, the question of the selection of a machine perpetually recurs, ( Newcomers seek the advice 0! those who know, and veteran cyclists combine to re-echo the advice to buy the best machine procurable. An inferior bicycle is a source of continual annoyance while it lasts and usually ends prematurely in a complete breakdown. The Rudge-Whitworth has for many years Deen recognised as Britain’s Best Bicycle, and its claim to that proud title is submitted with the utmost confidence to the judgment of the- whole cycling world. At the first glance even the most casual observer cannot fail to perceive that Rudge-Whitworths differ in design from all other bicycles. A close examination of their hidden as well as of their obvious features will reveal constructional differences of the highest importance. ■ Rudge-Whitworths differ from the average cycle not for the mere sake of variety, but for specific reasons. Where they differ it is for the better. Scientific research has preceded every distinctive feature that has been introduced. and practical riding tests on the road have in.all cases been applied to confirm the theoretical findings of the laboratory. Rudge Whitworths add to their exclusive and distinguished design the desirable feature of absolute interchangeability, whereby is secured great exactness at the time of manufacture as well as instantaneous replacement at any time of need. The strength and quality of the materials used ensures longevity, and with it is associated conspicuous lightness, and an extreme liveliness due to the accuracy of manufacture, and the perfect adjustment of every part Their scientific construction makes a direct appeal to the educated eye, and the elegance of their finish corresponds with their high-grade character.
