"Cycling which was yesterday the fad of the few is to-day the pastime of the many; it has brought wealth to the wayside town and village, has given a new industry to the country, and by taking the place of more expensive forms of locomotion has facilitated in various ways the carrying on of trade." --The Lancet, July 11, 1896.
"An hour spent gardening is more likely to result in injury than the same time spent cycling. So remember, next time you step outside to clip the hedge, beware of the risks you are running!" --CTC's policy coordinator Chris Peck
