OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1922 BALFOUR IS HEAD ~ GYCLISTS' UNION Largest Wheel Ever Built Took Nine Men to Operate Sir Arthur Balfour, the great Eng- lish statesman who was recently raised to knighthood, is an enthus- fastic. wheelman. He was recently re-elected president of the National Cyclists' Union, the governing body Jot cycling activities in Great Bri- n. The largest wheel ever built was | construct: in 1896, in the U.S.A, | It took eight men to propel this machine and another to do the steer- ing. The wheels were 11 feet in diameter with 16-inch tires. The machine weighed 1,453 pounds with- out the riders. Rev. C. A. Simmons of Toronto, a missionary to China, often wished for some economical and independ- ent means of transportation for his work in the Orient. At a recent meeting of the Diocesan Women's Auxiliary in Toronto, the missionary was presented with a bicycle and a sum of money for a typewriter. Dates have been set for the bicycle racing features in the Olym- ic Games to be held at Paris, nce, in 1924. The big bicycle road race is scheduled to be held July 23 and the Olympic track cham- pionships on July 28, 1924. RHEUMATISM neces w T,R.C.'s SCIATICA Have yougiven up? Have you to that old, yourself The people of many European countries are steadfast bicycle de- votees., A recent estimate showed that 50 per cent. of the population of both Sweden and Denmark ride bicycles regularly. The people of Helland, Belgium, Switzerland, France and Italy are also very en- thusiastic about cycling. On a number of the big ocean lin- ers salling the Atlantic, the quip: ment includes bicycle riding mach- ines similar to the rollers or home trainers which racing men use to develop a sprint. These machines are placed at the disposal of pas- sengers for exercise, George Goulding, formerly of To- ronto, ' the great walker, holder of many world's amateur records and Olympic champion, has become a cycling enthusiast, Forsaking the promotion of industrial athletics, he has opened a bicycle store in a west- ern Canadian city. Frank Clancy, a star player of the Ottawa Hockey Club, famous in professional hockey circles, has ex- pressed a desire to be permitted to compete in bieycle races during the summer months in order to obtain valuable exercises between hockey seasons. F. R. Hardendorf of Brockville, Ontario, held the distinction until a few weeks ago, of being the oldest bicycle dealer in Canada.

In Calgary, Winni- peg and several other cities, bicycles are registered and licensed by the civic authorities just as automobiles are licensed by Provincial Govern- ments. Cycling meets many of the condi- tions of ideal exercise to a degree approach~d by nothing else. It is necessarily an open air sport. This is important because the prime ob- ject of exercise is oxidization of the blood. People of Ottawa, Ontario, did not know what bicycle racing looked like a few years ago. Now there are three bicycle clubs there, a fourth is being formed and the sport is con- trolled by a local commission made up of representatives of the various clus. No less than 57 track and road races were held in Ottawa and district last year. COMING, EYE SPECIALIST. Dr. F. E.
