Bicycle Craze

The need for a group to deal with bicycles
became apparent when the bicycle craze which
has recently swept the nation made itself
evident in Charlottesville this fall. The number
of bikes "has at least quadrupled" according to
Manager of Traffic and Parking John B. Gregg,
and with the influx has come a proportionate
increase in the number of bike accidents and
thefts.

Mr. Gregg turned the bicycle problem over
to the Growth Committee of Student Council
for study since he felt that there were "not
enough administrators" within the Traffic and
Parking division to adequately explore the
situation.
