NEW LIGHTWEIGHTS SPUR BICYCLE POPULARITY XS9HWEHHIND V jz 1 , ra

Thrilling flexibility of control and the sense of power of cycling on a lightweight bicycle promisee to send the number of American bike riders soaring over the present record-breaking 55 million 'mark, according to The Murray Ohio Manufacturing Company, b ashrille, Tennessee. Murray, the country's largest manufacturer of bicycles and wheel goods, is introducing a new line of lightweight bikes this fall. The lightweights incorporate not only the continental styling so popular with young and old alike, but feature 3-speed twist-grip shift control and hand-operated caliper brakes. Bikes have meant fun to Americans for more than 100 years, but the lighter and more maneuverable bicycles have firmly established bikes as a mode of transportation on college campuses.

Add to that the number of adults that have turned to cycling and you have a robust boom within a bpo* l *- While physical fitness may be written off by some as a pretext for adult cycling (some say that fun’s the real reason), there are di finite health and muscle tone benefits. For instance, women (and men, 'too) find it fun to pedal away pounds—and the average person bums off more than 600 calories in an hour of moderate pedaling. Or the executive can pump away tensions simply because the stimulus of a 15-minute bike ride can send 25 to 30 quarts of ©xy-gen-enriched blood through the arteries every single minute. Whether for fun or fitness. Americans are getting their kicks on the 3-speed lightweights as the bike boom shifts into high geafe
