How to Dismount From a Bicycle.
The best way to dismount from a safety when traveling fast is hy the backward motion, and not by the pedal, as is usually done. Thus, when the left hand pedal la rising, the body should bo raised in the ■addle and the weight thrown onto the pedal, at the samo time slipping off the baok of the saddle, meeting the ground wiih the right foot. Of course tho left foot will quickly follow; then, letting the machine run at arm's length and holding onto the saddle, a run of a few yards, according to pace, will quickly bring both rider and machine to a standstill. With a little practice, a dismount can be safely accomplished in this way when traveling at ihe rate of 15 mlleaan hour and even faat- », fiocording to Golden Days.
