Cycle tracks will abound in Utopia. ~ H.G. Wells
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions of man’s convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once was a product of man’s brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others or the planet. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~ Elizabeth West
“In Mendrisio I felt the exhilaration of what the bikes has to offer. It’s a simple machine that conjures a vast mix of emotions. I can evoke the senses and raise the spirits of people who watch. For those who ride it can seem like the perfect vehicle for transport. For those who race there’s no better sensation that being on top of your gear making mountains feel like flat roads. Cycling throws up plenty of obstacles, unknown territory, high speed split second considerations. Where to next? What’s around the next corner? Who cares! You’re flyin’!” ~ Cadel Evans on winning the world championships
Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike. ~ John F. Kennedy 35th President of the United States
La major invención después de la rueda … fur poner dos de ellas juntas – The best invention after the wheel was to put both of them together
On my tenth birthday a bicycle and an atlas coincided as presents and a few days later I decided to cycle to India. ~ Dervia Murphy, Fill Tilt: Ireland to India with a bicycle
