The sound of a car door opening in front of you is similar to the sound of a gun being cocked.

Ann Strong
The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without shocking the entire community.

It would not be at all strange if history came to the conclusion that the perfection of the bicycle was the greatest incident of the nineteenth century.

All bicycles weigh fifty pounds. A thirty-pound bicycle needs a twenty-pound lock.
|
Bill Strickland, The Quotable Cyclist
[T]he bicycle is the most efficient machine ever created: Converting calories into gas, a bicycle gets the equivalent of three thousand miles per gallon.
|
Chip Brown, "A Bike and a Prayer"
If you ride you know those moments when you have fed yourself into the traffic, felt the hashed-up asphalt rattle in the handlebars, held a lungful of air in a cloud of exhaust.

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

David Perry
What do you call a cyclist who doesn't wear a helmet? An organ donor.

Diane Ackerman
When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on.

Ernest Hemingway
It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

Golding, William
Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.
