Wood Hitching Posts for \(/heeled Steeds

With the bicycle, relegated during recent years to comparative obscurity as a toy, enjoying a re-incarnation as a major medium of transportation, a new parking problem arises. How shall we keep our faithful, rubber-tired, old "dobbin" sheltered from damage and weather, safe from "rustlers," until we are ready to mount the saddle and pedal off acrdss the range again?

Ernest Stevens, Washington, D. C., architect, offers a timely answer with eleven designs of wood bicycle racks ranging from the ultra-simple to the elaborate, which have been approved by the Cycle Trades of America, 122 East 42nd Street, New York City.

"It is estimated that there are around 11,000,000 bicycles in use in the United States," says Henry Meloney, secretary of the Cycle Trades of America. "That's about the same number as there were motor cars in 1923, and about one to every three cars in 1941, or one to every 13 persons.

"The frame of a bicycle will last about 20 years; the wheels, four to five years, and the tires are good for 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It needs little attention but, as it is not licensed like an auto, it cannot be left unattended. It requires a lock and a rack. Racks are badly needed at all such points as railroad stations, shopping centers, defense plants, or wherever people gather for war work or recreation. Racks can most economically and efficiently be built of wood, a non-critical material."

Incidentally, bicycle manufacturers are now experimenting with wood as a basic material for building the bicycles, themselves, and are turning to wood for handgrips and pedals.
