In line with this trend, econoists miay finally conclude that a bicycle bilit for three is .really a better investme 'nt than thlietimne- honored. song-immortalized* "bicycle ýbuilt for two." But the difficulty seems tô Ibe tliatý tri- angles often cause trouble. Another talking point for bicycles in the eco- inom'tic.order is .the fact thiat old tires ca 1 11be used to plav the ganie. of qiIo.ts, Tho saine st;tkes.ï used for horseshoes will serve adinirablvy for quoits. \Vere it not for ouir Oxford trai.ning and also for the fact that hot weather tends to tupset the stornach, we would present you wiith the l'un that we are qtuoit righit on th;js vital subject.
