THE WORLD AWHEEL.

BRITISH CYCLE BOOM.

• (Sun Special.) LONDON, Nov. 10.. The Home Secretary (Sir William .Toynson-Hicks), opening a. cycl?- and motor cycle show at Olympia to-day, said the' motor cycle industry was one of the few bright spots in British trade at present. In 1925, Britain exported 466,600 motor cycles, in 1927, 52,800; and in the first nine months of this year, just under 50,000. In regard to what was termed “push bicycles,” Britain exported 276,000 in 1925, 283,000 in 1927, and so far this year, 248,500. Production was consistently going up, and this year at least 120,000 motor cycles, and 800,000 pedal cycles would be made. Imports wore negligible, which showed how the British cyelos industry dominated the world. All over Asia and Africa, the native races were taking to the push bicycle. The market was there by the hundred million.
