“We have a wonderful network of over 25,000 miles of cycleways in the UK, with smooth tarmac and direct routes to the places we want to go. All we have to do is get the other people using those cycleways in their motor vehicles to do so safely and properly.” -Regulator, Cyclechat [via @John_the_Monkey]

“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
