Mr Bowden, the proprietor of the Raleigh Cycle Co., has been a cyclist for over a quarter of a century, and has taken his bicycle to many corners of the world, so that he writes from the point of view of a practical cyclist, which is so apparent in the construction of the Raleigh. There is a preface by R J Mecredy, for 28 years editor of the "Irish Cyclist," and founder and editor of the Motor News." This is followed by an introduction by the author relative to the early days of cycling, which is followed by Cycling for Health," a well written portion of the book which is most interesting. Then follow the" Points for Cyclists," and when given by such a giant in the cycle world as Mr Bowden one may be assured that they are good points and worth taking note of.
