“It’s funny how a little rain scares so many cyclists off, because a one or two hour ride in the rain is generally a very pleasant experience as long as you keep moving and stay warm.” –SurlyDave
“Fat-busting but not wallet-busting, the humble bicycle is an increasingly popular choice of transport. Around 130m bikes rolled off production lines in 2007 and even more are set to be made this year.” –The Economist
“Don’t be a snob; if it can be done on a bike, it’s good.” –unnamed correspondent to RBR Newsletter.

Choose a group, choose a fashion, or don’t, it doesn’t matter.” — Bike Snob NYC
“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
“I’m lazy. But it’s the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn’t like walking or carrying things.” –Lech Walesa
