HERRICK OF CORNELL Has Ridden on Average 2000 Miles a Year In Past 40 When it comes to really seeing and enjoying the beauties of the countryâ€" side, the bicycle has it "thumbs down" over the swiftly rushing automobile, in the opinion of Dr. L R. Herrick, hobby for 40 years and, with his penâ€" chant for longâ€"distance "cruises" in the United States and overseas, it is nothing unusual for him to add more than 2,500 miles a year to his record. Americans‘ â€" dislike for "cheap" things, he says, is the reason bicycle riding is so largely confined to mesâ€" senger boys, paper carriers and occaâ€" sional working men in the city. The bicvcle. with its advantages, would be widely used in the United States today if it were expensive like the shire Hills of main object of admiration for boys and an important means of conveyâ€" ance for many folk. The "fad" has stuck to the Cornell professor and he pedals for pleasure, exercise and convenience, an average of one hour‘s 10 days. He found the riding difficult through Indiana and walked about :‘h.llf of the 36 miles of coarse gravel i roads encountered there. the miles is indicated by the cyclomeâ€" ter of his present "wheel" which regâ€" isters 5,000 miles for the past two years. Several years ago when the proâ€" fessor was studying for degrees in foreign languages at Amberst college he passed four months in France. He "eycled" from one end of that country to the other, covering 3000 miles durâ€" ing the summer. Since that time he has made nine other trips across the Atlantic, but on most of these occaâ€" sions he has gone as a tour condustor. i Dr. Herrick‘s most recent cycling feat was a trip back to his old home )-nd birthplace, Westfield, Mass., 100 miles from Boston, last summer. To i avoid the bad roads of eastern lowa and the congested traffic of the Chiâ€" _ Prefers Undulating Dirt Roads _ .
