Victorian council allows use of freewheel devices in bikes
At the V.A.C.U meeting in Melbourne the council passed a motion approving the use of burl copper hubs clutches and free-wheels under the V.A.C.U banner. The decision was challenged when Mr J Delaroy moved to disagree with the chair and a constitutional issue was raised. Frank Smet of Bruce Small Pty Ltd defended the action saying two memories such as free wheels keep pace with modern bicycles but questioned calling pedalling aids a mechanical device.
