The high bicycle appeared later, but the earlier machines were about the height of the present safety, with light wooden wheels and iron tyres. The safety, with pneumatic tyres, did not arrive till nearly thirty years later, and it was the latter invention that brought about the popularity of cycling.
There is no need to explain this further. Everyone knows that in cycling or driving along a road where there is a good deal of traffic both ways the people we meet are more in number than those who overtake us, and the same result would follow with the meteors; that is to say, in travelling through space where they were fairly evenly distributed we should meet more than we should be overtaken by.
O certainly, said the director. For the cloister it is all right but for the street I really think it would be better to do away with it, don't you? It must be troublesome, I imagine. Of course it is, of course. Just imagine when I was in Belgium I used to see them out cycling in all kinds of weather with this thing up about their knees! It was really ridiculous.
The ladye faire was a little stout and the worthy swain several years older than my fancy might have wished, but still I did not complain.

A brother who will bring the man home to dinner, or arrange cycling expeditions, is a treasure. The aunt who gives dances or river parties just when he has his holiday is inestimable.

"But you will come, won't you?" said Miss Ivors, laying her arm hand eagerly on his arm. "The fact is," said Gabriel, "I have just arranged to go " "Go where?" asked Miss Ivors. "Well, you know, every year I go for a cycling tour with some fellows and so " "But where?" asked Miss Ivors. "Well, we usually go to France or Belgium or perhaps Germany," said Gabriel awkwardly.
