A SUBSCRIBER, PHILADELPHIA.--Several of your questions are answered in
the preceding paragraphs. You can get a bicycle on the installment plan
from either of the dealers advertising in this paper if your references
are sufficiently good. You should not ride a wheel of less size than 46
inches, of which the price is $65.
D. R. ALLEN.--Send to G. W. Simmons & Son, Oak Hall, Boston, for samples
and price of L. A. W. suit.
HARRY N. NICHOLS.--See advertisements on cover.
EMANUEL SENN.--You would doubtless derive much pleasure from a bicycle,
and I should advise you to get one if you have friends of your own age
who own bicycles, and with whom you could ride.
GEORGE A. RICHARDS.--I can not answer the question as to which is the
best make, as every style of bicycle has its own peculiar merit. Either
the "Columbia" or the "Horsman" is a good bicycle. It is almost
impossible to ride a bicycle against a strong wind. Bicycles can not be
used to advantage on rough, hilly streets. To dismount, you wait until
the left pedal is _down_; then imagine it a stirrup, throw the right leg
backward over the backbone of the bicycle, and dismount exactly as you
would from the back of a horse.
E. A. HOARE.--A good bicycle, such as you want, will cost about $25, to
which you must add $1 for a crate and the express charges on a
fifty-pound package from New York to your place of residence.
"THE CAPTAIN."
