FLY
Cycling is the closest I know to the flight of birds. The airplane simply charge the man on his back like a submissive Pegasus does not give its own wings. - Louis J. Helle, Jr., "Spring in Washington." CUESTA
Bicycling wind is never in your favor, or is against you or is that you're having fun. - Daniel Behrman, The Man Who Loved Bicycles. The Memoirs of an Autophobe. "
Cycling is unique. No other sport allows you to move so if you have nothing the bike to hold you. If running on foot so hard, you will drop, your legs do not endure. - Steve Johnson.
BUT NO MORE THAN A WALK
people like to travel: that is why the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. We are walkers: our natural environment for travel is to put one foot before the other. The bike seduces our basic nature by making walking exciting. We made strides to 3 meters and 160 steps per minute. That's 30 miles per hour instead of 6 or 8 ... It is not just how fast to go one, the cars are faster and faster jets yet. Cycling has it all: you have the satisfaction get full because your mind has chosen the path and I have driven it, your eyes have seen, your muscles have felt, your respiratory, circulatory and digestive systems have fulfilled their natural functions better than ever, and every part of your be known to have traveled and have arrived. - John Forester, Cycling does it all, in "Effective Cycling."
"The attractiveness of the bicycle is transported, be yourself, devouring distances, amaze the chronograph, and cry at the end of the race: I have brought my strength." - Horacio Quiroga, cited by Emir RodrÃguez, "The exile."
"Life is like a bicycle than ten velocidades." There are some that most never use "·-Cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, American comic strip creator of the Peanut, Charlie Brown, Snoopy and his family .-
