1. Cycling survives as a popular pastime because it yields pleasure
and bencfits. First of all, cycling provides exercise, the need of
which is felt by most people. The development of machinery
tends to deprive us of adequate opportunities of expending energy
while earning a livelihood. Other opportunities should be created
through the medium of sport. Of cycling, many people hastily say
that it is "hard work", but a fit and practised rider does not agree
with this verdict. The art of easy cycling must be cultivated, as
will be shown later, but once it has been acquired", a long day's
run should not unduly tire any rider endowed with the normal
measure of health. Nobody has better described the exercise
of cycling than the late Twells Brex, who said enthusiastically,
speaking from experience : "You move along by your own glad
cffort." Many of us wish to use our legs and our lungs, as well
our eves. An active, healthy person ought not to be content to
travel always as a mere passenger - "like an image pushed from
behind", as Stevenson says. That is not life. Those who would
turn all active cyclists into sedentary motor-drivers, or into idle
passengers, would serve the nation better if they restricted their
attentions to the aged and infirm, for whom petrol-generated
propulsion is doubtless a blessing, and may be a necessity.
It is often said that the cyclist cannot travel as fast or as far
