The bicycle
is a useful invention. It is very cheap and light. It has two wheels and is
quite easy to ride on. It can go even where a Tonga or a taxi cannot. It is
always ready to take us through crowded streets and narrow lanes, wherever we
like to go. It is largely used by students, teachers and clerks. It is also
used by hawkers, petty businessmen, water-carriers and sweepers. It is rightly
called “the poor man’s carriage”. Its maintenance does not cost much. All that
is needs is a little bit of oiling once a week. Its body is all made of steel.
Its wheels are fitted with rubber tubes and tyres. Its saddle is made of fine
leather. It has also a bell, a stand, a carrier and a lamp. The wheels are
connected with the pedals, by means of a chain. It has helped many young men to
go round the world.
