******************************
Reprinted w/o permission from Bicycling Magazine, Aug. '88:
If cycling were a coporation, stockholders would be smiling. According
to the Bicycle Federation of America, 17 million adults cycled
regularly (an average of one ride per week) last year, compared
to 14 million in '86. In the same period there were also significant
increases in the number of commuters (2 million to 2.2 million),
competitors (120,000 to 150,000), tourists (750,000 to 850,000),
and mountain bikers (2.6 million to 5 million).

It's a shame to see the greatest part of our sport, bicycle touring,
has the lowest number of riders. The joys of riding self contained,
on your own, are incomparable. Can you think of a better way to
spend a vacation than cycling through the Canadian Rockies, the
Grand Canyon, Amish Country of Penn., or a Vermont Autumn?

You hit the nail on the head, Steve. I'd like taking my cameras
on a weekend bike trip to Vt. or Pa. this fall! Finally, I can do
it!
