"There are so few things I'd rather do than ride a bike."
"What I always forget to mention when talking with people about commuting is this: there’s virtually nothing PG-rated I love to do more than ride a good bike."--BlackChop, Team Chupacabra
"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.
A well-designed mudflap reminds cyclists to stay clear of the danger zone on the inside of a turning truck.
"Whenever you decide to drive or take public transport, you will feel a deep sense of regret at the first cyclist you see enjoying their ride." --John the Monkey
"Why is 5-10 seconds so precious out of your life that you are willing to sacrifice mine for it?" --splork on HubPages
"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
"After years of federal and local spending on bike routes and other amenities, most cities are ready to handle more cyclists. But many motorists simply don't see their two-wheeled brethren or, when they do, find them aggravating. Managing more cyclists is going to take more than new bike paths or fresh stripes on the roads. It looks as though there is a need, on both sides, for a revolution in manners." --The Economist
