Melancholy Is Incompatible With Bicycling.!

Posted on May 30, 2008 by Noby

 

 

 

 

Get a bicycle.  You will not regret it if you live.

The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets.

The bicycle is a curious vehicle.  Its passenger is its engine.

Why should anyone steal a watch when he could steal a bicycle?

When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race.

Cycling is unique.  No other sport lets you go like that – where there’s only the bike left to hold you up.  If you ran as hard, you’d fall over.  Your legs wouldn’t support you.

The hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride bicycles.

Messengers and mountain bikers share a common chromosome.

Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.

The secret to mountain biking is pretty simple.  The slower you go the more likely it is you’ll crash.
