Reviews
"a little book that celebrates bicycling through quotes by notable people who can't get enough of the exhilaration that comes from pedaling through life." -Design Arts daily, Holiday Gift Guide Pick "With quotes from Susan B. Anthony, Mark Twain, Eddy Merckx, Greg LeMond and more, this collection of entertaining, inspiring and philosophical thoughts about cycling makes a great stocking stuffer for anyone who is inspired by the simple joy of riding a bicycle. " -Courier-Journal, ****SELECTED QUOTATIONS PART ONE*****The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets. - Christopher Morley¿¿¿ Why should anyone steal a watch when he could steal a bicycle? - Flann O'Brien¿¿¿When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else's heart. - Diane AckermanGet a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live. - Mark Twain, Taming the BicycleWhen the spirits are low when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling. - James E. StarrsIt is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. - Ernest HemingwayLife is like riding a bicycle--in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving. - Albert Einstein¿Things look different from the seat of a bike carrying a sleeping bag with a cold beer tucked inside. - Jim MalusaLet me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel . . . the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood. - Susan B. AnthonyNext to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.- Helen KellerIf constellations had been named in the 20th century, I suppose we would see bicycles.- Prof. Carl Sagan ¿Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to workout in a gym. - Bill Nye the Science Guy¿¿I was not yet sixteen when I understood a great deal, from having ridden bicycles for so long, about style, speed, grace, purpose, value, form, integrity, health, humor, music, breathing, and finally and perhaps best of all the relationship between the beginning and the end. - William Saroyan, The Bicycle Rider in Beverly HillsThe bicycle ran with special ease at dusk, the tire emitting a kind of whisper as it palpated each rise and dip in the hard earth along the edge of the road. - Vladimir Nabokov, MaryHe dropped down the hills on his bicycle. The roads were greasy, so he had to let it go. He felt a pleasure as the machine plunged over the second, steeper drop in the hill...His bicycle seemed to fall beneath him, and he loved it. - D.H. Lawrence, Sons and LoversIt was a fact I've always wanted a bike. Speed gave me a thrill. - Alan Sillitoe, The BikeThere are three ways to pedal a bike. With the legs, with the lungs, or with the heart. - Mandible Jones, Carpet ParticlesThe world lies right beyond the handlebars of any bicycle. - Daniel Behrman, The Man Who Loved BicyclesWhen I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. - H.G. Wells¿¿¿, Holiday Gift Guide Pick "With quotes from Susan B. Anthony, Mark Twain, Eddy Merckx, Greg LeMond and more, this collection of entertaining, inspiring and philosophical thoughts about cycling makes a great stocking stuffer for anyone who is inspired by the simple joy of riding a bicycle.
