Favorite Bicycle Quotes:

-"Cycle tracks will abound in Utopia." -H.G. Wells

-“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving” -Einstein

-"I have two doctors, my left leg and my right." -G.M. Trevelyan

-"The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets." -Christopher Morley

-"The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine." -John Howard

-“Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There’s something wrong with a society that drives a car to workout in a gym.” -Bill Nye, the Science Guy

-“My mother and I have a difference of opinion. She thinks I should go see a shrink; I think I should buy a new bike.” -Alex Obbard

-“The bicycle is the most efficient machine ever created: Converting calories into gas, a bicycle gets the equivalent of three thousand miles per gallon.” -Bill Strickland

-“The best routes are the ones you haven’t ridden. You could pedal the same loops year after year. Many people do, literally or figuratively. But to grow, you need new rides. Risks. Turn down lanes you’ve long seen but never traveled. Get lost once or twice, then double back to where you started and try again. Live like this and you come to see unknown territory not as threatening, but as intriguing.” -Mark Remy

-“All bicycles weigh fifty pounds. A thirty-pound bicycle needs a twenty-pound lock. A forty-pound bicycle needs a ten-pound lock. A fifty-pound bicycle doesn’t need a lock.” -Anonymous
