Burrard Y arrows Review.
The first bikes, bought at
the urging of pipeshop
foreman Nick Houniet, met
with instant success. Since
then the company _ has

bought another 30 bikes in
three lots of ten.
The bicycles are Beach-

comber models designed for
riding on sand dunes. The
wide wheels and heavy duty
framework make them ideal
for traversing the rail tracks
and uneven surfaces in the
yard.

Allocated by department

under the control of the
foreman, the bikes are
painted to coordinate with
each department's hard hat
color -- green for pipe fitters,
orange for sheetmetal, blue
for steel trades, and so on.

Beyond increasing ef-

the
cutting down on travelling
time, the bikes have a bonus
benefit, too. As any fitness
expert will tell you. cycling
is sull one of the best
exercises available!
