<blockquote>
[[Bert C. Menne|Bert Menne]] is a lad of 19 years. He stands five feet nine and a half inches and weighs 150 pounds when in riding trim. He first came into prominence as a racing man in the [[Bay City Wheelmen]]'s [[electric light race meet on August 22, 1893]], winning second place in the maiden race. He represented the club on the ninth [[:Category:100-mile relay race from San Francisco to Oakland|relay]], and, although he lost a little time on [[Manuel F. Rose|Rose]], the [[Acme Wheelmen|Acme]]'s crackerjack rider, he gained considerable over [[Antonio J. Delmas|Delmas]] of the [[Garden City Cyclers]]. On [[May 30th last he won the mile handicap, riding from the 100-yard mark in creditable time of 2:19]]. In the [[Associated Cycling Clubs ten-mile road race]] he went from the minute mark and finished second of forty-two starters, beating such good riders as [[Cushing]] and [[Sampson]], who were on the same [[scratch|mark]]. Next year will see him in all class A track events, and his chances are exceedingly good.
