Thirty Miles an Hour.
The most interesting bicycle event of
recent make is the motor cycle. If this
proves successful, it will, practically
speaking, be one of the most remarkable
vehicles for travel that has yet been
known in this or in any other country.
The pneumatic tires are very much larger
than those of any other bicycle, the Idea
being to furnish a cushion that will not
be affected by any unevenness, even
large ones, in the road over which the
rider travels. Attached to the rear
wheel is n mechanism which develops
•the power to send the wheel forward by
moans of a small, two-eylinder naphtha
engine of about two horse-power. which
weighs 121b. This bicycle, It is said,
will go at the rate of from twenty-five
to thirty miles on hour.'
