A random sampling of bike quotes to end the year:
“When 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.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, in the Scientific American, 1896
“Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.”
John F. Kennedy
“I thought of that while riding my bike.”
Albert Einstein, on how he came up with theory of relativity
“I’ll tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood.”
Susan B. Anthony
“When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race.”
H.G. Wells
“It 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. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.”
Ernest Hemingway
“Bicycles are almost as good as guitars for meeting girls.”
Bob Weir, Grateful Dead
