“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
“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
Will humans ever finish designing and redesigning the bike? I doubt it…
“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 normal service should resume shortly…
Before I descend into a fortnight of hibernation, there’s just enough time to speedlink…
“Roses are red, violets are blue…” Actually violets are violet but there’s nothing particularly romantic that rhymes with violet. And when you think about it, there are some pretty unpleasant things that rhyme with blue too. Argh!! Don’t think, speedlink…
I haven’t had a prang since yesterday, so it must be safe for me to speedlink…
