The Bike

Yes, It deserves a page of its own. For now pictures of my bike alone will suffice (and quotes). Soon, I'll post with my favorite places to ride and pictures of some rides. :) 

Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood."
- Susan B. Anthony

Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.
- H.G. Wells, novelist

Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.
- John F. Kennedy



When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.
- Arthur Conan Doyle

Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.
- Helen Keller


Life is like riding a bicycle. In order to keep your balance, you must keep moving.
- Albert Einstein
