“I noticed that I woke up each day energized and ready to go. I noticed that I was still sharp and productive throughout the day and into the night. I noticed a transition from being tired after riding… to being tired if I didn’t ride! It was at that point that I ‘discovered’ pedalocity.” –Michael Sicurello, Well On Earth
“Every now and then, someone takes a potshot at bicyclists and bicycling. Sometimes it’s a politician; other times a shock jock. Whoever it is, and whatever their motivation, we don’t like it!” –The League of American Cyclists
Cycle Commute
- Is fast, fun, enjoyable, time-saving, healthy.
- Makes me feel happy, stress-free, alive, succesful, fit.
–Polak, on Sydney Cyclist
“I might be showing my age, but when I was a kid, we all biked to school, to sports, to play with friends - almost everywhere, really.” –Jill Merrin in the Illawarra Mercury
“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
Stuff found clinging to the underside this week…
And there I was, thinking I might never speedlink again…
And normal service should resume shortly…
Before I descend into a fortnight of hibernation, there’s just enough time to speedlink…
I haven’t been caught distributing bogus how-to-vote cards since my last effort, so it must be safe for me to speedlink…
