By JOCK LAUTERER DTH Staff Writer Just a couple of years back the only people that rode bi cycles in town were the kids. Now Chapel Hill is turning out like bike-ridden Amster dam where the rowdy beats paint their bicycles white to let the cops know that there is potential trouble afoot. Now, we're not suggesting that all Chapel Hill beards mount up and tool down Franklin Street on white bikes. (Picture that, if you can.) Chapel Hill has long been a leader in fashions, in educa tional trends and now in a new fad: the bike. Ditch Your Car Now students are discarding their cars as freshmen to take up the transportation device they once scornfully distained from using in high school. Witness the big residence halls like Morrison, Craige and Ehringhaus where coveys of two - wheelers wait obedi ently in seemingly patient re pose.

How 'bout getting around campus: the fastest way is by bike. And you needn't worry about park ing tickets. Cheap and Invigorating This year at UNC, the big craze over motorbikes and mo torcycles seems to be dying out. Students sre waking up to the fact that the old plodding bicycle is the most dependa ble, the cheapest, and the most invigorating and healthy way to travel on campus. By the way, it would be great to have a white - bike parade for the beards every'' year. The "First Annual White Bike Beard Parade" oh forget it. h ' f t . ' '-- - .
