The KU campus extends over 930 acres—quite an area to cover on foot. Married couples, instructors and students are turning to another mode of transportation—the childhood pastime bicycling.

has had her English three-speed
bicycle since she was 12 years
old. She said she brought the
bike to KU as a way to get away
from her residence hall in the evenings, but didn't ride much until last spring.

Lila Jensen, Atwood junior, has had her bike only one week. She met near disaster the first day when she lost her balance at a busy intersection and went careening to the pavement as two
lanes of traffic whizzed by on either side.
"On campus when traffic is heavy you can travel faster by bike than car," Miss Jensen said and added, " . . . except when you're going uphill."
'Ideal way'
Cycling is the ideal way to travel for couples, says Larry Schwarm, Greenburg graduate student, and Laurie Metzinger, Shawnee Mission sophomore.
Cyclers
Like many KU students, this couple has taken to wheeling their way about campus.
Schwarm rides his two-year-old bike to class every day—even in the snow. Keeping the bike's 10 gears adjusted, including an Alpine gear for climbing hills, is his biggest maintenance problem.

SEE GREGG NOW FOR SUBURBANITE WINTER GRIP RETREADS
Gregg sells as many snow tire retreads as new snow tires each year. Because snow tires are used only 3 or 4 months out of the year, with no hot summer driving, no long vacations that require new tire construction. What you want is maximum traction for the least amount of money. Gregg Retreads give you this traction with a tread wider than most new snow tires. This, combined with the same tread design found in Goodyear's best snow tire delivers a strong grip in snow, slush, and winter wet pavement. Gregg produces their own retreads, using Goodyear tread rubber with Tufswyn (for long mileage, sharp design) exclusively. Come in today—Compare price . . . Compare design . . . Compare width
