BICYCLES

The Friends of Macedon Public Library has scheduled another interesting program this summer:

BICYCLES: THEIR HISTORY, PROPER MAINTENANCE

AND BASIC ROADSIDE REPAIRS

Zoltan Vigh of The Wheelwright in Canandaigua will give background information on bicycling and demonstrate bicycle maintenance and repairs in this program at the library on Monday, July 8, 6 PM in the Community Room at the library.

You are invited and we look forward to seeing you at this presentation, which is paid for through the Friends' endowment. And while you're in the library, we invite you to stop by the Bullis Room. One book on the shelves that is of interest to bicyclists is:

The Wheels of Change; A Bicycling Idyll

Written by H. G. Wells and published in 1905 by The Macmillan Company in London, the book is a commentary on the political scene surrounding World War I. At that time bicycles were beginning to become very popular and were actually a part of the social changes in England because people could move quickly and rigid class structure was beginning to crumble.

Between now and July 8 we plan to spend some time with this book so that we can tell you more about it when we see you at Mr. Vigh's presentation. In the meantime, remember that we're always glad to help you find other books in the collection. Just give the library a call and let us know a convenient time for you.
