there are 118 cycles (118 front handlebars @ one each)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "there are 17 more seats than cycles (135-118), so there are 17 tandem bicycles\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "there are 33 more wheels than twice the number of cycles [269-(2*118)], so there are 33 tricycles\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this means that there are 68 bicycles (118-17-33)
