has to offer if you want to see 100 miles orso af country over a weekend you dont need a ahiny new ear accord ing to d u swift secretary of the canadian wheelmen association on a bike you need not be con- flned to heavily travelled highways you can o anywhere and stop any where either to look at something aw just for lunch you can escape the dan of city traffic and the tntofce and plot your own course i through outoftheway imtravel- led lanes the cost is negligible and travelling with a group of compan ions at iluo 30 mllee per hour gives an opportunity to see the country you pass through an opportunity lost to the speeding motorists if more people used bicycles for their sunday afternoon jaunts there would not bo ao many cars clutter- tng up the roads and causing traf fic jams and accidents comments mr swift that is if they cycled in a properly disciplined way when on the public highway and if young people and school children organis ed cycling clubs they could train themselves in safe riding habits and use their weekends for tour of edu cational and recreational value pro moting such clubs would do a lot to discourage juvenile delinquency mr swift points ut that a man rldlnn a bike takes up less rood space than a man drlvinc a car even when a car is standing still it takes up quite a bit of apace says this veteran wheelman and in addition it needs lots of space for starting and stopping from the cyclists point of view the driver is the big loser he is cramped into a car getting no exercise no nir no sunshine just plenty of worry and expense common sense and sportsmanship secret of safe mileage record says canadian distance champion one lean weather beaten cana dian c basil xtaynhain of weston out has pedalled 225000 miles the equivalent of nine times around the world without one accident during the post 18 years many motorlsu who have had unhappy encounter with some of the less responsible members of the cycling fraternity will marvel that anybody could live so long its easy am ilea mr raynham tta just a ease of obeying all the traffic laws that apply to motor ists beside a few others that are aimed especially at cyclists or example the law require that cyclists obey traffle signals whether they are riding or pushing their but mr raynham not only complies with this regulation to the letter but adds when taming left or crossing at a busy interaectlon i always get off my talk and walk this safety habit only take a couple of moments but it tnay save a lifetime teenage cyclists are targets for criticism by this veteran of the open road the youths often en danger their own lives and menace others by stunting and racing on busy thoroughfares and they ignore many important things like hand signals and keeping well over to the right side of the road courtesy and sportsmanship mr raynham emphasizes are the chief charac- teristlca of the safe civilized cyclist the highway code exhorts cyclists to ride in single file mr rayn state that bicycle clubs hen on tour adhere strictly ot this rule and adds a fellow who doesnt un stand that the safety of the other riders in the pajty depends on everyones actions as individuals is simply too dangerous to have around road rules must be ad hered to by everyone in a party for the safety and pleasure of every one the only other canadian to come near mr rayrihams cycling record is onearmed 63yearold gus hogben of hamilton ont mr hog- bene mileage totals 303494 mlle they are the only canadians to earn a cycllasf honor rating on the cycle mile charts issued in eng land among the tours made by mr raynham are nine round trip tj north bay and saujt ate marie 3 to montreal 14 to ottawa four to quebeo city and numerous trips south of the border to the states of new york virglnln north and south carolina all starting from weston this experienced touring cyclist who is living proof that safety habits pay off points out that even if all rules were obeyed at all times by all riders accidents would hot be entirely eliminated motorists and pedestrians are not entirely blame less the motorist who opens his off door when parked at the curb can throw the most careful cyclist the
