...sane man to ride, and on the other it rained. Still there can be no excuse for not having had a run on some one of the many beautiful days we have had. The Bicycle Club supports a president, captain, and sub-captain, and I fail to see why some one of these officers should not have called a run long before this. The opinion seems to prevail among members of the club, that if the management does not wake up this spring, the death of the Bicycle Club will be recorded next year...
