BICYCLE BUILT FOR FIVE. —Hardened veterans of our streets would rub their eyes with astonishment if they saw this unique combination speeding along, it is a live-man (or in this case a live-girl) machine seen recently at. Ostia, a fashionable resort on the sea-coast near Rome. In this novelty of multiple transportation, only four of the riders provide the pedal-power: the fifth gets a free ride in return for performing the steering business. The machine is actually a combination of two single bicycles hooked on to a tandem, with an extra scat provided for the pilot.
