A few thoughts on repairing flat tyres.
“The premise that cyclists’ behavior somehow voids their right to sharing the road is indefensible at face value. ‘Well officer I thought it was OK to hit this cyclists because several blocks back I saw another run a red light’ is not something anyone could defend.” –TheWashCycle
“I hate that the bicycle is made out to be something political. I have stated here before, if automobiles ran on pixie dust and had zero carbon emissions, I would still ride a bicycle. I am a cyclist, and riding a bicycle is a love and a passion.” –Dave Moulton
“It’s time to take cycling back and place it firmly in the category ‘normal way to get to work, to the shops, to the cinema’.” –The Slow Bicycle Movement
Why on earth would the relative of a convicted offender question the justice of a clearly lenient sentence?
“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
“One of the greatest things about cycling is you can do it with 10,000 people or you can do it alone. And you don’t need to engage in the `secret handshake’ of name-dropping, proper equipment usage, and wardrobe in order to do it. Choose a group, choose a fashion, or don’t, it doesn’t matter.” — Bike Snob NYC
“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
And you thought scooters were for kids…
“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
Wear or not wear. There is no half-wear.
“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
Is this final proof that Harry Barber is an idiot and/or that he’s lost the plot?
