Some reasons are: Bikes are fun, health ful, easy to park and don’t pol lute. And they fit student budg ets, although prices can go as high as $500. “For about $150 you can get a real bad car or a real good 10- speed,” observed Jim Kyle of Cen tral Supply, a bicycle sales and service agency at 715 S. Main in Bryan. “Some faculty members buy these bikes for the sport and exercise, but for most of our stu dent customers the bike is their primary means of transporta tion.” Kyle pointed out that the 10- speed models are durable and easy to maintain. “Quite a bit of engi neering goes into these bikes,” he said, “but most owners are able to do their own maintenance.” Five and 15-speed bicycles are also available. “Most people could get by as well with a five-speed,” said Eddie Spalten, owner of Andre’s Bicycle Shop, 213 Univer sity Drive. “The only difference between a five and 10-speed is a single front sprocket. That trans lates into about $15, and for that amount of money most buyers feel the extra five speeds are worth the price.” Speed changes are facilitated by Derailleur (French, meaning “to derail”) gears. The chain drive is manually derailed and transfer- ed among five rear sprockets. Ten- speed bikes have a second De railleur system for two front sprockets. Fifteen speed bikes have three front sprockets. Most 10-speeds have the same basic equipment. Price ranges are accounted for by the variety of materials used. Kyle indicated a floor model which had a forged aluminum pedal crank. “That crank alone costs $86,” he said. “That’s more than the price of some 10-speed bicycles.” Both dealers agreed that pur chase of a used bike can be a good deal. “Most people at A&M don’t put a lot of miles or much strain on their bikes,” Kyle said, “so buying a second-hand 10-speed can be a good idea.” Spalten cautioned, “People should make sure the bike they’re buying isn’t hot.” Local police agree. They say a stolen bike will be impounded and returned when ownership can be proved. Police encourage owners to mark their bikes with names, addresses and Social Security numbers. University police and Bryan and College Station depart ments offer free use of electric engravers for this purpose. “American-made bikes have se rial numbers stamped on at the factory,” Spalten said. “Owners should record that number. For eign-made bikes don’t have such identification. That’s because stealing a bike in Europe is al most like a crime against the church.” Both dealers recommended “The Complete Book of Bicycling” by Eugene A. Sloan to prospective purchasers who are serious about bicycling. The University Library has the book, but there is a long waiting list. Prospective buyers should also seek suggestions from bike own ers. Some of the most avid bi cyclists belong to the A&M Wheelmen bicycling club. The club meets monthly and stages frequent weekend trips. The trips range from a few miles to a planned 100-mile journey April 15. Receives $24,000 grant A&M to expand model cities program A&M has received a $24,000 grant from the Coordinating Board, Texas College and Univer sity System to expand its Model Cities Urban Extension Fellows Program.

Fellows will be sent this year to Houston, Texarkana and Edin burg. San Antonio, Eagle Pass and Laredo have been served by urban fellows in the past. Hinojosa pointed out the grant is made through the U. S. Office of Education under provisions of the Community Service and Con tinuing Education Program of the 1965 Higher Education Act.
