WITH the increasing interest in bicycles that has been displayed of late at Harvard, has arisen the question, Can we get up and sustain a bicycling club here? There has been some discussion on the subject, but at present we are not aware that any decision has been reached. It is our desire to see such a club formed that has led us to investigate to some extent the history of the vehicle.
