AFTER 27 YEARS’ USE
A bicycle bought in 1901 is still in use on the rough roads in the vKatikati district. When resident in the Ta-'anaki district 27 years ago eight bicycles. were, bought by eight friends and were used daily for several years. At the end of that time only orffi remained roadworthy, this being of British manufacture. This cycle, a Rudgo-Whitworth, was later used in Wanganui and Auckland Jand for the last seven years has been constantly used in Katikati. Many of the original fittings are still good and it was only recently that new rims were fitted, as it was found that supplies of the old type of tyre were not available and rims suitable for modern tyres were necessary. The frame itself is in good order and from all appearances is still capable of many years' work.
