           Thoughts While Riding A Mountain Bike

Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish.
Only the bicycle remains pure in heart. Iris Murdoch

When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments.
Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man.
And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it,
the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. Elizabeth West

When I see an adult on a bicycle,
I do not despair for the future of the human race. H.G. Wells

The Final Word From Treebranch
It is curious that with the advent of the automobile and the airplane, the bicycle is still with us. Perhaps people like the world they can see from a bike, or the air they breathe when they're out on a bike. Or they like the bicycle's simplicity and the precision with which it is made. Or because they like the feeling of being able to hurtle through air one minute, and saunter through a park the next, without leaving behind clouds of choking exhaust, without leaving behind so much as a footstep.
Gurdon S. Leete

Most bicyclists obey instinct far more than they obey the traffic laws,
which is to say they run red lights, go the wrong way on one-way streets,
violate cross-walks, and terrify innocents, because it just seems easier that way.       Cycling in the city, New Yorker

All creatures who have ever walked have wished that they might fly. With highwheelers a flesh and blood man can hitch wings to his feet. Karl Kron
