Two Melbourne cyclists died in road collisions last Thursday. Both deaths were avoidable.
“Cup of coffee in hand, I realize that it’s true what they say: Bicycles Rule in the Netherlands.” –Eric, Downwind of Amsterdam.
“Cycling is an activity in and of itself, regardless of where you end up, or whether you break a sweat.” –Happy Woman Magazine
“Cycling provides economic benefit in terms of improved public health, reduced levels of traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as reductions in expenditure on transport fuel. These benefits accrue most readily when the bicycle is used as a substitute for car journeys.” –Cycling Promotion Fund
“But here’s the big secret: bike commuting is no sacrifice at all. As a matter of fact, I often feel a pang of guilt for doing it. It’s so much fun, and I derive so many benefits from it…” –Alan, www.ecovelo.info
“Did you hear about the centipede who fell in a ditch? He couldn’t get up. He was too exhausted trying to figure out what foot to put first. Same thing with a bike. Who needs 18 gears?” — Fred Mathes
“The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without shocking the entire community.” –Ann Strong
