In just the past three or four months, substantial volumes have been pub­ lished by various govern­ ment agencies, eagle-eying every aspect of^ the care, feeding and safe moverfient of the bicycle. Possibly the most im­ pressive, in terms of sheer volume, is a 179-page book issued by the National Rec­ reation and Park Associa­ tion entitled, "Bikeways." This intensive study on the design and construction of bikeways,written by Temple Jarrell, surveys the nation and the various types of bicycle facilities available. Another study of the same subject, "Bikeways, State of the Art--1974," was is- m »v - u ' - .na /ur iuuu- l Bikes and Books, Courtesy U.S.A.

U.S. Bicycle Industry Happy in 1974; Outsold Autos for Third Straight Year Despite the severe re­ cession and inflationary pressure that resulted in a slight decline in bicycle sales in 1974, Americans bought more two-wheelers than automobiles for the third consecutive year. The bicycle continued its dy- sued by the Department of Transportation. It also ex­ amines European systems where the bike has long been accepted as an im­ portant vehicle in the total transportation mix. In January, the D.O.T. published another book, "Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Study." It was is­ sued in accordance with the requirements of Ejection 214 of the Highway Safety Act, and presents an in-« troduction to and back­ ground information on the problem of pedestrian and bicycle safety, primarily as it is related to automobiles. The Environmental Pro­ tection Agency in its pub­ lication, "Bicycle Trans­ portation," says, in part, in the introduction: "The health and recreational ben­ efits are substantial--cycl­ ing being often referred to as the 'perfect exercise. ' The bicycle offers mobility and. literally door-to-door service at speeds compar­ able to auto travel in urban areas." The Bicycle Manufacturers Association, which pioneer­ ed in the development of bikeways in the early six­ ties and has continued vig­ orously in that effort ever since, stopped counting actual bikeway mileage when it reached 25,000 sev­ eral years ago. It does have a great amount of literature on the subject relating to design and development in communities and states of every size and topographi­ cal nature. Such material can be obtained by writing the BMA at 1101 15th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005.

Having your new bicycle stolen by a cagey thief or leaving it prey to the grow­ ing number of organized bikenappers . around the country. The Bicycle Manufacturers Association of America ha^ recently stated that more than 43 million bicycles were sold in the United States in the last three years. While the statistics on bike theft are not quite this staggering, they are mountainous and growing all the time. Bicycle theft is most al­ ways the fault of the bike owner or bike rider. You should never leave q, bike unlocked, even in the' rela­ tive security of your own garage.

Studies have demon­ strated that a stolen or lost bicycle is more easily re­ covered when there are reg­ istration and licensing ordi­ nances in effect. Here are some sensible precautionary suggestions: • Lock your bike to a sta­ tionary object. #Use a heavy-duty, case- hardened chain and lock, having a shackle of not less than 3/8 inch in diameter. #Lock your bike in a con­ spicuous place. Most schools and campuses have bicycle racks which will frustrate thieves who are apt to be noticed by pedes­ trians or police. ©When a bike is equipped with quick-release hubs, simply remove the front wheel and take it with you. Who wants a one-wheel bike? •Never leave your bicycle out over night. Always se­ cure it indoors. • Always run the chain through both wheels and the frame before locking. • Record the serial number of the bike. It is found in three places: on the head tube under the manufactur­ er's name or insignia; on the underside of the pedal crank housing; on the left rear toe-plate near the axle. • Bikes should be regis­ tered by serial number, make, model and descrip­ tion with the local police. •Take a color photograph of your bike to help police. •Meanwhile, list your bike by color, model, make and serial number on the per­ sonal property floater of your homeowners or tenants insurance policy. • Never leave your bike unattended, even for a few minutes, without locking it.

According to statistics re­ leased by the Bicycle Man­ ufacturers Association of America, spokesman for the domestic industry, a total of 14,150,000 bicycles were shipped in 1974, represent­ ing the second largest mar­ ket in the industry's history and topped only by 1973 when the bicycle market reached a new peak of 15.3 million.. Domestic manufacturers shipped approximately 10,161,000 units in 1974, representing 72% of the total market. Imported two- wheelers totaled 3,979,000, or 28% of the market and 1.3 million less than those shipped in 1973. Consumption of light­ weight bicycles continued its phenomenal growth pat­ tern. In the past four years, over 34 million lightweights have been sold; the market jumped from 1.4 million units in 1970 to 10.6 mil­ lion in 1973, and held at the same level in 1974. Even with this staggering growth record, the Bicycle Manufacturers Association believes the bicycle market is far from saturated. As a matter of fact, the BMA es­ timates that the 70 to 80 million Americans who still do not own or ride a bike represent a potential that can be translated into future sales. American bikemakers rec­ ognized the challenge of rising consumer demand for multi-speed bicycles in the early '70's. Production of these more sophisticated American-made models was doubled in just four years--a feat unmatched by most in­ dustries in the U.S. Seventy per cent of the bikes pur­ chased by Americans in 1974 had three or more speeds; this was almost a reversal of 1970 when 73% of the bicycles sold had a coaster brake. The hi-rise style bicycle remained a favorite among children. Three million hi- rise bicycles were shipped in 1974, about 800,000 units less than the previous year. Domestic manufacturers a- chieved 80% penetration of this market by designing a bike to suit the American taste, for use on the Ameri­ can road. Industry experts currently estimate total sales of bi­ cycles for 1975 at approxi­ mately 11.1 million units; 8.5 million domestic-made two-wheelers and 2.6 mil­ lion foreign-made. Although interest in bicycling re­ mains at a high level throughout the nation, the uncertainty of the economy and a variety of other fac­ tors account for the expect­ ed reduction in bicycle shipments this year. - SOME WOMEN CAN ADO YEARS 7V THEIR. lives merely by TELLING THE TRUTH. 5 IOPEN EVERY NIGHT I S K Y L I N E Rout# 120 - 1 Mi le Ea»t of McHenry Love Me Deadly 121 D OVER 2ND WEEK O T l l l l l l l l l l l A, American Legion Post 491 -RINGWOOD ROAD, McHENRY- FISH FRY EVERY FRIDAY (5:00-9:00 P.M.) • PERCH-ALL YOU CAN EAT • OTHER MENU AVAILABLE « OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT IN THE LOUNGE FRI. - 2 BEERS AND A COKE SAT. - COUNTRY ROCK *1 B I I I • 4 DRECT FROM INDIANAPOLIS! 1974 MAS DRIVING CHAMPION - MEL KENYON - PLJUS THE GREATEST IN MIDGET AUTO RACING! ^UTD CLUB LAKE GENEVA RACEWAY SUNDAY NIGHT, JUNE 1 TT 700 pm RACES 800 pm EVERY" SATURDAY LATE MODELS.
