This book is included in the Self Reliance Transportation section.
This volume is based upon a series of articles in
The Iron Age, which were published in view of the obvious need of practical information in regard to approved methods of Bicycle repairing. In its preparation the aim has been to confine the description of methods to those which have been tested and found practical in actual use. The volume is therefore the result of experience rather than theory.
Acknowledgement is made of the hearty and intelligent cooperation of the manufacturers and repairers of Bicycles in giving suggestions and furnishing information, thus greatly aiding in the compilation of the matter contained in the following pages. It is hoped that the volume will be of service not only in the large establishments, but more especially in the smaller repair shops springing up all over the country.
The field of Bicycle repairing is a large one, and the series of articles which have appeared in
The Iron Age will be continued with a view to describing new and improved methods as they are developed in the progress of the trade, as well as to give information on any details which may not be adequately treated in this volume. Further suggestions and information are therefore invited from any who are interested in the subject, of which appropriate use will be made in
The Iron Age and in future editions of this book.
