rebi recerngaemtnere Everywhere you look a bike - Walk down the street and someone pedals by you on a ten-speed bicycle. Take a . drive on the highway and you pass someone labouring ‘along the side of the road on a ten-speed bicycle. Going to work in the morning business men cycle pas you on their ten-speed bicycle. Go anywhere near a school or playground and all you see are ten-speed bicycles. Why? How come every time you turn around there's a ten-speed bicycle coming at you? “It's got to be the fitness. craze ; lis the price of gas," says Liana Arnold-Smith of Sundance Ski and Sport in Terrace. . “] think its a lot to do with fashion. There are a lot of serious bikers in town and it’s a definite asset to have the top five gears,” To back up her statement Arnold-‘Smith says to this point of the year, her store. has sold over 500 ten-speed bikes, : Allie Toop of Toco Crafts in Terrace agrees with this toa point. . “I think it brushes on people now-a-days think about their health and the more days. Some do it for Fitness, - fitness part of it. With the very young kids its the in- ining. to have a ten-speed a.” The cost of a tenspeed in Sundance Sports varies from $154.95 to $500. Arnold-Smith says the range in prices is because there are two classes of bike riders, One ‘just wants to get to work -while the other is a serious eross-country rider or a ‘racer. But stlli what’s the ‘difference between at $150 bike and a $500 bike. “Mostly welght,”’ says Arnold-Smith. “The more it costs the lighter the weight." Arnold-Smith “explained the ene they have Pa stock we: ly 21 pounds, It's frame is made of a chrome molybdenum which is durable but light and very expensive, The brake system is also more expensive. The t os ae light weight ate light w . Even the tire tubes are lighter than the normal bike tires but again also more expensive. Normal tubes, cost about $1.90. The special tubes are $5.00 Both bike-dealers agree some do it because everyone else does anc some doit to save money. the imported bikes are of better quality and less ex- pensive than their Canadian made counter parts, “The European bikes are far superior than the Canadian bikes, they use better material,” says Toop of Toco Craft, “The Canadian bikes aren’t the quality but are more expensive than the Japanese bikes,” says Ar- nold-Smith. She adds the price of the Japaneze bikes has gone up $25 already this year, Also both bike dealers agree once a bike is bought, it should only need minor adjustments and no major repairs if it is looked after properly. Once you buy a bicycle you can also buy all kinds of accessories for it. You can purchase a riding helmet go if you fall you don’t crack your head, riding gloves so your hands don't become sore holding onto the handle bars and small rear view mirrors which attach onto your glasses or handle bars so you can see behind you. . Arnold-Smith says all these accessories are very ‘popular with the cross- country riders, Another phenomenon - which has come out of the ten-speed craze is the decline of the girls bike with the bar taken out between the handle bare and the seat. “7 don't think the ladies bike is out," says Toop “We still sell ladies bikes- to the more mature ladies. More girls are wearing slacks and jeans anyways.” With more families buying bikes, it has become popular to ride with a baby carrier on the back of the bile. Ammoild-Smith says the majority of ladies bikes they do sell go out of the store equipped with a baby carrier. ; . Both dealérs agree the. carriers are perfectly safe. They. have seat. belts and protective devices so the baby can’t get it's feet caught in the spokes af the bicycle. With all this talk about ten- speeds has the old standard one speed bike gone out of existance? qT Happily no. Toop reports she still sells many af the old: kind of bikes every year.

Holland says Gary Langford in the &-kilogram division and Alan Win- .terbourne in the 65-kilo claas are England's best medal prospects.
