The bike craze has caught
on in Sidney. The two local
sporting-goods stores say they
cannot keep up with the
demand for the status-
conscious 10-speed  light-
weight machine and one
maintains it has sold more
bicycles for adults than for
children this year.

A Canadian. manufacturer
has said that North America
has the highest per capita rate
) of bicycle use and this is born

_out of Peninsula residents who
may be seen toting children.
and groceries, or simply joy-
riding in all weathers.

Prominent among. local
cyclists is Len Siver, president
of the Chamber. of Commerce

_Mr. and Mrs. Mike O'Sullivan.

Sidney from Kamloops last
spring and decided to explore
tha country roads on bicycles.
They go out every day, even in
a downpour. They plan to take
the Brentwood ferry across to
Mill Bay and: bike | further
afield,

Friends of the O’Sullivans
and frequent companions are
David and. Lorian Lawes of
2157. Beacon Ave. With
cighteen-month-old son Davie
riding ‘behind, the -Lawes’
enjoy the climate which. they
say, is just right for biking.
Both the men are air traffic
controllers -working at Vic-
toria ‘International Airport.

A local businessman who
recently succumed to the lure
of his own merchandise ‘is
Tom Harvey,.-proprietor of
Harvey’s Sporting Goods who
is enthusiastic about the new
10-speed bicycle. Mr. Harvey,
who would .like to see’ a
‘Peninsula .bicycle club. for-
med, bemoans the lack of a

cycle path on busy Pat Bay
