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.

Stage fright for

EDMONTON (CP) — The

weightlifting team at the
Commonwealth Gamea is
concerned his athletes might

get stage fright before sell:

Jubilee Auditorium, :

So Wally Holland has had
his nine Hfters sit on the
stage at tho auditorium for a
few minutes every day “to
get the feeling of the place.
Even that, however, is
nothing compared to what It
will be like to perform alone
before 2,000 spectators.”

Games officials say moat
seats at the five-day com-
petition have been snapped

up.

Holland says Gary
Langford in the &-kilogram
division and Alan Win-

.terbourne in the 65-kilo claas

are England's best medal
prospects. Besides Langford
the other top bels as gold
medalists are Mare Cardinal

Wales in 100-kilo and Robert
Kabass of Australla in $2.5

McKenzie, who is four-

McKenzie won golds in
