1997 Racing Season Brings out the Best the Steel Artistry of Glenn THE VOICE OF NORTHWEST CYCLING MAY 97 • FREE 1997 racing season brings out the best BY TIM ENGLE owbells, thumping tunes, hundreds of spectators...this is the distinctive flavor of CEuropean cycling venues, yet it can be en- joyed here in the Northwest. A great example of this was the U.S. National Cyclo-Cross Champi- onships held Dec. 7, 1996, in Burien, Wa. Top local racers rode impressively (garnering podium spots in nearly every category) but could have used more support from one of the most popular cycling areas in the country. A number of talented riders call the Northwest home, but, unfortunately, publicity has been few and far be- tween. Please See- “Race Feature” on Page 9 The steel artistry of Glenn Erickson BY RUSSEL W. HOWE n Japan, certain citizens who possess unusual artistic talents and skills are designated as hu Iman cultural treasures. Despite an increas- ingly mechanized and technology driven 21st cen- tury, Japan is preserving the skills and talents of the individuals who make samurai swords, pot- tery and calligraphy utilizing 17th Century tech- niques and methods. In this age of downsizing and cost cutting, an individual turning out one samurai sword every six months can not survive. Please See- “Frame Builder” on Page 7 Mail order dentures?

    SHOOTING STAR: A BIOGRAPHY OF A BICYCLE Geoff Mentzer 2 SHOOTING STAR: A BIOGRAPHY OF A BICYCLE Copyright © 2020 by Geoff Mentzer All rights reserved. 3 In a scientific study of various living species and machines, the most efficient at locomotion – that is, the least amount of energy expended to move a kilometre – was found to be a man on a bicycle. –SS Wilson, Scientific American, March 1973, Volume 228, Issue 3, 90 The Dandy Horse of 1818, said to be the first velocipede man-motor carriage. Sharp, Bicycles & Tricycles: An Elementary Treatise On Their Design And Construction, Longmans, Green, and Co, London, New York and Bombay, 1896, 147 4 INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS What began as a brief biograph of the author's forebear Walter William Curties soon doubled into a study of two men, and expanded into an account of early bicycle – and a little motoring – history in New Zealand. Curties is mostly invisible to history, while Frederick Nelson Adams – who rose to national pre-eminence in motoring circles – by his reticence and reluctance for public exposure is also largely overlooked. Pioneering New Zealand cycling and motoring history – commercial, industrial and social – have been variously covered elsewhere, in cursory to comprehensive chronicles. Sadly, factual errors that persist are proof of copy and paste research. As examples, neither Nicky Oates nor Frederick Adams' brother Harry was the first person convicted in New Zealand for a motoring offence, nor was the world's first bicycle brass band formed in New Zealand. It must be said, however, that today we have one great advantage, ie Papers Past, that progeny of the Turnbull Library in Wellington.
