We were shown to-day by Mr. Young probably the lightest Bicycle ever made for road use. It ix, of course, a COLUM- BIA, and tips the scales at 214 Ibs. A novelty in connection with this wheel is wooden rime, Instead of the regular steel variety. Those rims are supposed to pos- sess more elasticity than steel, besides being much lighter.
